Excellent place to explore the Saharan sand dunes

Excellent location to explore the famous Saharan sand dunes near Merzouga. Virtually at the edge of Erg Chebi. Host Ali is also very hospitable and informative. Can ask him anything about the Berbers and the Sahara. He'll arrange anything you care to do in the desert.

Dette sted ligger lige overfor hvor Sahara starter. Her er lidt råt - og stedet trænger til lidt vedligehold. Men det er svært at finde et bedre, mere venligt og inspirerende sted at starte sit bekendtskab med Sahara på.

Hôtel traditionnel en pisé

Bon accueil avec le thé. La décoration est typiquement berbère. La salle bain est un peu juste en taille et nous avons eu un petit souci d’eau chaude. Des repas sont proposés, il suffit de demander. L’endroit est au calme avec vue sur les dunes (elles ne sont pas juste à côté).

Séjour magique face aux dunes

nous avons été très bien accueilli par Ali, il nous a conseillé pour notre promenade dans les dunes au coucher de soleil. Au retour nous avons eu un dîner agréable et copieux.Bon petit déjeuner copieux dans un décor Berbère très typique. Merci à Ali, nous avons été heureux de faire ta connaissance, nous avons appréciés notre séjour dans ce lieu magique.
