Riad Desert Camel  

Out on the edge of the Sahara in Merzouga’s Takojt area, about 2 km from the town center. A Berber-style guest house and riad that drops you steps from the dunes.

Built in traditional Berber style with local décor, the riad mixes an ancient vibe with modern conveniences. Relax in a private courtyard with fountains or on the roof-top terrace. All rooms have en-suite bathrooms and simple, authentic touches.

On-site restaurant, roof-top terrace, private courtyard with fountains and free Wi‑Fi. Free parking, transfer service and a tour desk that can book camel treks, Berber tent nights, 4x4 dune bashing, quad cycles and sand boarding. Laundry, dry cleaning, car rental and even a listed skiing area round out the offerings.

Free Wi‑Fi across the property and an elevator/lift for accessibility. Transfer and car rental services are available; staff speak English, Spanish, Italian and French.

The riad’s restaurant serves traditional Moroccan dishes like tajine and couscous. Romantic desert dinners in a Berber tent can be arranged on request.
