Auberge Sahara Hotel Hassilabied

A long-established address in Hassi Labied

In the village of Hassi Labied, a few minutes' walk from the first dunes of Erg Chebbi, the Auberge Sahara Hotel Hassilabied is one of the places travellers passing through have been recommended for a long time. Its seniority shows in the details: a mud-brick building that has developed a patina, a well-oiled organisation, staff who know their trade.

This is not a tent camp but a permanent inn, with its own advantages: cool rooms in the middle of the day, a fixed restaurant room, and above all a pool — rare in this part of the desert, and especially appreciated after a morning spent on the dunes in full sun.

44 reviews, a solid rating that reflects consistency in the quality of the welcome more than a one-off stroke of luck.

The pool, a real asset in this area

Few places in Hassi Labied offer a pool. The inn's pool quickly becomes the end-of-day meeting point, between coming back from a 4x4 excursion and dinner. The water is a stark contrast to the heat of the sand — a contrast many travellers discover with relief on their first stay in the region.

The rooms, spread through the main mud-brick building, rely on the thickness of the walls rather than oversized air conditioning to manage the gap between the heat of the day and the coolness that settles in once night falls.

Cooking that doesn't do things by halves

The generous Moroccan cuisine is one of the points reviews mention most often. Hearty tajines, dishes served in large quantities, a breakfast that holds you until lunch — this is home-style rather than fine dining, designed for travellers who have spent the day outdoors and need to recharge.

What 44 travellers say

With a rating of ⭐ 4.7/5 from 44 reviews, Auberge Sahara Hotel Hassilabied is among the well-reviewed places in the area. Feedback often comes back to three points: the pool, the quantities served in the restaurant and the staff's availability — useful when it comes to arranging a last-minute excursion.

This address suits both a one-night stop on a tour and a stay of several days for those who prefer to stay based in one place and explore the desert from there.
