I had this distant dream of visiting Sahara desert for sometime, perhaps since I watched the movie "English Patient". When I found myself visiting Marrakech for a research for work, I decided to go to Sahara. I hired a private guide and he booked me for this place, not knowing how it would be like. And it turned out just... More

This hotel is a real desert dream! It combines tradition with comfort and magic with romantic ambiance. Situated in Erg Chebbi Desert (the back of the hotel lead to the dunes 50m ahead), we can enjoy the sensation of being a nomad but with a luxury tent. All the hotel is fantastic, especially the rooms, decorated with extremelly good taste... More

I have not stayed at Kasbah Tomboctou / Auberge Tomboctou, although I am sure it is nice. I post my note here to detail the fleecing and the odd booking process. I contacted Kasbah Tomboctou directly by phone and was directed to a person called Meriem who was a person at Kasbah Hotel Xaluca Maadid in Erfoud. I called her... More

I've been there twice (Apr/2004 and Sep/2005) and in a year time they have improved their offer and, specially for 4x4 desert travellers, it's a warming place just near to the desert line. It's like being in a sleepy tale before going into adventure. Fantastic. The people there, specially KARIM, are fun and friendly, and make your journey become a... More

The hotel was a lovely one set in close proximity to the Merzouga dunes. The rooms were clean, although they were extremely hot, even in May. The bathroom was clean and the staff was friendly. They arranged a morning wake up call to see the sun rise over the dunes, and they facilitated the booking of camels to get us... More

In short, I loved the experience. My wife and I stayed at the junior suite, which was surprisingly spacious and clean, with shower, jacuzzi and toilet. For the price you pay, it's great value. The food was good (not excellent, but still enjoyable). On the downside, public toilets were not well kept, in fact they were rather dirty. The staff... More
