la Vallée des Dunes - Merzouga

Between the village and the first dunes

Hassi Labied lies a few kilometres north of Merzouga, quieter, and even closer to some of the Erg Chebbi ridges depending on how you approach. la Vallée des Dunes - Merzouga occupies a simple position there: a building arranged around a traditional patio, with a terrace opening straight onto the sand. This is the kind of place where you drop your bags in the late afternoon and head up to the roof twenty minutes later to watch the light change.

The shaded patio serves as a shared living space. The heat of the day stays bearable there; in the evening, the tables often move out to the terrace to enjoy the coolness that settles back over the desert.

Rooms and comfort

The rooms at la Vallée des Dunes - Merzouga are fitted with reverse-cycle air conditioning, a real plus when the temperature gap between day and night becomes marked depending on the season. The style stays sober: thick walls, restrained Berber decor, nothing overloaded.

The patio distributes the rooms and also serves as a cool passing space in the middle of the day, when the sun makes the terrace less pleasant.

Restaurant on site

The restaurant serves classic Moroccan cooking: tajines, Friday couscous, harira, with produce bought at the Rissani market. No need to go out in the evening to eat properly, which matters after a day spent on the tracks.
