Authentic riad & activities Erg

Pros: We had a wonderful time with Aziz and Hassan. The riad is very authentic as well as the atmosphere. Hassan prepared a lovely breakfast every day and even dinner if you want. Aziz is a very pleasant guide who can show you a lot about the desert.

Pros: Original mudbuilt riad on the very edge of the Sahara desert....with hot water and WiFi...Nice breakfast and great evening meal....you can sleep on the roof under the desert sky if you wish..

Pros: We had an amazing stay with Aziz and Hassan, Aziz picked us up from the bus stop when we arrived late and Hassan prepared us a fantastic dinner as we hadn’t eaten all day! The room was lovely, we stayed in summer (mid July) so they prepared us a bed on the terrace for the breeze which was great. Aziz runs tours in the desert so you can plan everything with him, he speaks great English which made communication very easy.

Authentic (basic) clay/straw riad with superb hosts

Pros: Aziz and his brother Hassan took great care of us. Hassan made our stay at the basic riad comfortable. Aziz arranged a great excursion for us to Erg Chegaga. Azis can arrange everything for you: dromedaris rides /(multi-day) hikes / support vehicle for motorcycle exploration through dunes with bivac and fuel. I even think Aziz could arrange a Sahara sky dive for you! Please mind that the Riad is authentic straw/clay build and a basic accomodation with shared bathroom and toilet. Please do not expect marble bathroom decoration. Do expect a CLEAN accomodation as Hassan made sure everything is clean and the food is good.

Pros: Wonderful riad facing the desert. Aziz and Hassan will make you feel at home with their kindness and desire to share authentic stories from the Sahara. Highly recommended!

Pros: Everything. The Riad is beautiful, cleant and cozy. Hassan, the guy who works there is a very good person. Everything excellent

Super nice place and hospitality!

Pros: The owners are two brothers both super nice, they built this amazing place and made it even more special with their work and kindness! Super recommend, is a little corner of paradise! Also they came and pick us up at the bus stop with their car which was super nice and made us diner even if we arrived quite late:)

Cons: Everything was perfect!

It was really nice! We would come here again :)

Pros: Really nice hosts which are interested in their guests :) The building looks really nice and it was really easy to get in touch with the other guests 😊 There is enough space to sit together and also separated. It felt like home for us 😊

Special Experience

Pros: It Was a very special experience for us to stay in the desert. Aziz gave us the possibility to feel the tranquility and vastness in the open space of the desert. The feeling of freedom and peace in the mind. Reconnect with the pure energy of nature....the stars, the dunes, the animals and the experience of the Camping in a still non touristic environment. And It is feelable that aziz still carries this energy within himself. Thank you, Aziz!

great experience

Pros: I was a guest in 2022 and I was very happy to return recently, this time for two weeks. Aziz is a wonderful host. He is a kind and enjoyable to spend time with, and makes sure guests are happy every day. His brother Hassan works with him, making and serving breakfast, and as a co-host. Aziz and Hassan grew up in the desert with their nomadic family (parents, seven children, and extended family of around 50). When Aziz was seven and Hassan was five, the family gave up nomadic living and settled down in Mhamid where they still live. I'm so glad I could make that trip with Aziz last week. I was surprised by how much foliage there is in some parts of the desert. We saw many goats, wild ostrich and camels, and beautiful sunsets. We went to a great desert camp, did a camel ride into the dunes and enjoyed the beauty of the Sahara, spectacular dunes, solitude, and so many photo ops. I will never forget my desert experience with Aziz.
