It was more than we expected. Riad located beside the dunes – one step to the desert. Staff very helpful.

Waldek Poland

Best location, best breakfast and best dinner, best staff! Best value-price in our tour in Morocco! For sure we will return to this location!

Marius Romania

what we really like is the swimming pool where we can fully relax after the long drive from Fes. even big towels are free available. breakfast gives a lot of choices, western and Moroccan. Besides this, owner Ali an amazing guy and he is really helpful. he arranged for us a buggy tour and a night in the desert. parking is perfect and safe at the terrain of the hotel.

Heng Netherlands

the breakfast was the best that we have ever had in Morroco. the choice was amazing, and we have stayed at a lot of hotels and riads in Morroco, but this was the best that we have stayed at, thank you. The pool was absolutely perfect - size and depth very good and in the evening it has underwater lighting and two water jets, that make it look very pretty and a tranquil place to be.

Ali
This Riad was a house at the beginning, sometimes I get friend who lives in Europe, they saw that it is a special place and they offer to make a guest house.he became a Riad in the Kasbah Mode, where you can enjoy the beauty and magic of the dunes
I am Ali. I am the owner of Riad Ali.I was born and I live in the desert as my parents and my rear parents are nomads, that's all that I'm someone who always loves peace, simplicity, purity, serenity and well being who are well on in Erg chebbi.
This Ryad is located at the foot of the dune and next to a small oasis as it is 400 meter from the village . the tourists who come to us can make excursion by camel or spend the night in the desert. or take a 4x4 excursion to visit the famous places
