Perfect location for a short or longer trip into the desert, with several terraces, a nice pool, great food. Nice, relaxed staff. Rooms are dark but hey its the desert, if you need sunlight just step outside the room! Some ratings here are just unfair or wrong. Prices for food, drinks or camel trips are reasonable.
GermanyEverything! An oasis of peace and calm right beside the desert. Friendly staff and great food. Best place we have stayed in so far in Morooo
United KingdomWe had a fantastic stay at Riad Ali . Beautiful hotel , excellent most helpful staff and excellent breakfast as well as wonderful home-cooking in the evenings. I would highly recommend this hotel and will be booking again for my next trip
IrelandLocation...superb. Breakfast..superb. Stuff..over the too...warm...friendly.....kind...all the best.
CroatiaThe staff was helpful and the place is basically next to the dunes. At night you can go up to the Terrasse to look at the stars, is a must do at night Dinner cost 13 eur, quite tasty. We had the meatball Tajine.
GermanyThe host was as lovely as she could be, spoke good English and she willing to help with everything like tours and even renting a very nice car! The location is great, straight into the medina but quite easy to get back to if you are going for a walk.
NetherlandsBeautiful garden and swimming pool. Fantastic landscape on the top. Perfect breakfast. Nice and friendly staffs. All things in riad are very clean and well managed. I had dinner in the riad once, it was one of the most delicious Moroccan foods in this trip.
South KoreaMohamed was really helpful. We had a nice stay thanks to him. The hotel is perfect otherwise
FranceThe staff meet me at 6am when I arrived on the overnight bus from Fed and took me to the early morning bus when l left.
BermudaThe staff was very welcoming and kind, especially with my child. The location is spectacular, having the dessert just at a door distance. The inner yard was fantastic having the pool where you can relax in a very hot afternoon. I want to thank them for making us feel very good even if we only stayed one night.

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
