A simple address in the heart of Merzouga
Riad Moha Merzouga sits in the heart of the village of Merzouga, within walking distance of the shops and the desert departure points. It is a practical option for those arriving late in the evening after the road from Marrakech or who want to stay close to services.
The welcome is over mint tea, as in most riads in the region. The building stays sober: central patio, rooms arranged around it, roof terrace turned towards the Erg Chebbi dunes visible in the distance.

The rooms
At Riad Moha Merzouga, the rooms stay functional: reverse-cycle air conditioning, decent bedding, private bathroom. Nothing showy, but enough to recover after a day on the road or an excursion.
A few handcrafted touches — rugs, woodwork, copper lanterns — avoid the anonymous hotel room without turning the place into a desert museum.
The restaurant on site
The restaurant at Riad Moha Merzouga serves southern Moroccan cooking, with produce bought at the Rissani market. Prices stay in line with the accommodation.
Tajines, Madfouna and harira make up the bulk of the evening menu. Breakfast includes fresh juice, baghrir and msemmen pancakes, and local honey.
