Beautiful place in Front of the Dunes
Pros: This is our favorite place to stay in Merzouga. My family has been coming here for many years, and we’ve stayed at this riad several times. Each time we visit, we see improvements.

Pros: We had the best time in Merzouga at the Riad Akabar, one of the best experiences we had in Morocco! The brothers hospitality is unmached! They took good care of us, provided beautiful trip to desert with delicious food and amusing program. They let us stay in the Riad while waiting for the night bus we had to Fez and even shared their lunch with us. We hope to come back! PS: The highest peak of the dunes is just outside of Riad, perfect location!

Serene Desert Escape with Breathtaking Views and Warm Hospitality
Pros: Staying at Riad Akabar in Merzouga was an unforgettable experience, offering a genuine taste of Moroccan hospitality. The highlight of the stay was undoubtedly the location. Situated at the very edge of the Sahara Desert, the views from the riad were simply breathtaking. Every morning, I woke up to the sight of endless sand dunes glowing in the soft desert sunlight, which made the experience magical. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, always going above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. I especially appreciated the delicious home-cooked Moroccan meals, which were rich in flavor and authenticity. The riad also arranged a fantastic camel trek into the desert, where I could enjoy a stunning sunset among the dunes—a memory I will treasure forever.
Cons: While I had a great experience overall, there were a few minor things that could be improved. The riad is quite remote, which adds to its charm, but this means that amenities and shops are a bit of a distance away. Also, the Wi-Fi connection was not always reliable, which might be frustrating for those who need constant internet access. However, I found it easy to disconnect and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, so it didn’t detract from my stay too much.

Restaurant was excellent, really one of the best we have had so far (it’s not a la cartel but rather eat what the cook made, but the food was good :)
