Riad Kasbah Aiour

Awesome place with great desert entertainment

Pros: Stylish desert riad next to dunes. Kids loved to just wander into dunes and we had trips organized to go to desert, ride camels and quadbikes. All smootj. Loved the staff, specially Addy who helped organize all trips and Abdul Jali helped with food (which was great btw) and awesome drumming in the evening by fire (very nice event organized by the locals, just sing and dance by fire). Thanks guys and great job with running the riad! Definitely recommend and would stay again for sure.

Cons: Had just two nights there but would want to spend more:)

Wonderful stay

Pros: We spent two nights at Riad Kasbah Aiour in Hassilabied over Christmas and truly enjoyed our stay. The building is beautifully constructed and furnished and is located right next to the dunes, so you can step straight into them. With our children, we enjoyed wonderful walks through the dunes in the evening at sunset, in the early morning at sunrise, and even at midday, each lasting about 1.5 to 2 hours. The beds are quite firm yet very comfortable — we slept surprisingly well, even though we usually don’t like hard beds. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent and very generous. Addi welcomed us warmly, invited us every evening to a festive gathering with music and dancing by the campfire, and was always present and helpful. Abdeljalil served our meals with constant good spirits and joy, brought us tea, and shared lovely conversations with us, while Fatiha and the other ladies in the kitchen cooked wonderfully for us.

Cons: The only thing I could mention is that the room lighting is on the dim side — but really, that’s just a minor detail in an otherwise perfect stay!

Very comfortable, nice food with friendly staff

Pros: We had a wonderful stay! Both dinner and breakfast were included and absolutely delicious. The staff were very friendly, and when we mentioned we weren’t interested in any excursions, they were totally fine with that. We’ve stayed at several hotels in Merzouga, but this one was by far the best!

Cons: The only downside was that there is a luxury camp in front of the hotel so you don’t have the best view

In a dessert, an oasis enhances its beauty.

Pros: The room was very spacious and well organized. We had everything we needed. The environment was clean and very well decorated with plants. It was not crowded, the fire place especially was very creative and comfortable to sit for a long time just gazing at the stars and the dessert.

Cons: The rooms were hot but this was due to where we were located. A few more windows in the bathroom will be nice to redirect unpleasant smells.

Lovely romantic stay

Pros: - Location : Great! Just nearby the dunes - Staff : friendly and professional - Food : great food quality and diversity There is also a small camp with few tents as part of the riad in the desert which look also very nice and well placed compared to others seen in the surroundings. I would definitely recommend take the riad or tent offers in this hotel because you wouldn't see that much difference being in another camp in the desert and you probably would be close to other camps.

Cons: - Sad that we didn't have the possibility to test the tent offer :)

Pros: Very kind people and excellent food. Tidy rooms. Special thanks to Abdellah who was so warm hearted and helpful.

Everything wonderful!

Pros: Beautiful, clean, friendly staff. Best food of my marocco trip.

Pros: very authentic place, just next to the sand dunes, with lot of activitites. Good dinner and very good breakfast was served. At the evening there is a local music and dance show next to the fire place. Our kids loved the dune and the camel ride. The exterior and interior is like in a real kasbah, very nicely designed.

SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TENT! Truly a great glamping experience in the Sahara

Pros: We loved the staff at this Kasbah, it’s not too far from the town yet you still are under the vast sky and the sand dunes. The rooms were really clean, comfortable and hygienic. Super spacious tents with all the facilities you could possibly get when camping. Very luxurious glamping experience for us. We enjoyed the night shows with traditional Berber music with a bonfire under the sky viewing the desert. The breakfast was delicious! Dinner is not included but you can purchase it. The staff is really helpful and kind. Definitely worth a visit here. Totally recommend staying at the tents here.

Pros: Nice people, cool place, great time. The dunes are literally in the backyard. Thanks for having us.
