Hotel Riad Ali

Pros: Amazing staff and incredible helpful! They helped us organise everything, from activities to our overnight stay in the desert. I am pregnant and they helped facilitate for all that without any hesitation. Would definitely come back and would highly recommend staying here if you're planning to do a overnight stay in the desert.

Cons: The pillow

Lovely hotel right in the desert!

Pros: Lovely riad, we stayed in 4 in Merzouga and this was closest to the desert, right out the back door! Beautiful pool area & terrace for watching sunrise. Huge breakfast spread, we didn’t eat dinner but was offered & looked great. Room was small but comfortable & clean, hot shower & good private parking!

Great spot by the dunes

Pros: The room was clean and the fridge was a nice touch. The pool area was great for relaxing, and the roof terrace was perfect for stargazing. The food was excellent, both breakfast and dinner. Great location, right next to the dunes and just a short walk from small shops and restaurants. The host was very kind and helpful, arranging a brilliant 4x4 sunset excursion for us and even making me a tea remedy when I had a bad stomach.

Cons: Just note that they prefer cash, although card is possible.

Pros: Really nice people work there. Great Pool and a lot of place to enjoy even the hottest hours of the day. Directly next to the dunes. We did a great Sunset Jeep tour we booked at the Riad.Breakfast buffet had everything you need. Can fully recommend the Hotel.

Pool, good service and kindness, s

Pros: What a nice place to stay right at the dunes of Merzouga! The pool area is absolutely fantastic, and a luxury considering you just open a door and find yourself stepping on Erg Chebbi sands. Rooms are alright with a small fridge inside, and if you have the chance, treat yourself and have dinner enjoying the local tasteful bereber/Moroccan food. The hotel staff are professional and efficient, and we particularly appreciated the warm welcome of Mohammed, who kindly organized some desert trips for us and had a solution for every situation.

Pros: We had a great time in the desert, organized by the Hotel. We had a one-hour trip first on quad, then we had a trip with camels to watch the sunrise. The dinner (chicken tajin) prepared by the hotel was the best of the whole trip.

Pros: The hosts were very friendly and suggested also some local activities. The area of the pool is very nice and comfortable. The rooms and toilet were very clean. The location has a good view to the dunes.

Door to the desert 🐪

Pros: Everything was amazing. The rooms, pool, breakfast and people. People are very friendly and welcoming.Also, desert starts right behind the hotel. You open a door near pool and you are in the dunes. Better than paying 60€/pp transport for camps that are not even in the dunes. They also offered us to take deep in the desert by SUV at night,but we didn’t have time.

Cons: Nothing.
