Ich war das erste Mal bei Ali und seiner Familie in der Kasbah. Ich habe schon viel davon gehört & nachdem ich unbedingt in die Sahara von Marokko wollte, hat mich mein Weg dorthin geführt. Es ist UNGLAUBLICH mit welcher Herzlichkeit und Gastfreundschaft Ali mich bei der Tür begrüßt hat. Seine Frau Amina zaubert bestes authentisches Essen, so viel, dass ich fast geplatzt wäre. Und die Kinder sind alle so lieb. Ich hatte mein eigenes Bad mit WC. Natürlich handelt es sich hierbei nicht um ein 5Sterne Hotel in Dubai, aber ich würde sagen um eine authentische 10Sterne Unterkunft am Rande der sandigen Sahara. Es gibt sogar Solarpaneele, was es Alis Familie leicht möglich macht nonstop Strom bzw. Heißes Wasser zu bieten. Auserdem ist die ganze Kasbah mit wunderschönen Farben & Touareg Details ausgestattet. Ich kann diese Unterkunft aus der Tiefe meines Herzens einfach nur weiterempfehlen :)

A warm welcome back for a third group retreat journey from Moulay Ali el-Maslouhi and his family. We received beautiful, thoughtful, care and delicious food, both in the Kasbah and during the ten days we spent out in the desert, in the quiet and peace of the sands and walking with camels on the open plain of the hammada. The Kasbah Touareg Chez Ali, eschewing the luxuries of pampered 'grande luxe', offers to the traveler seeking simplicity, hospitality, and quiet, a traditional experience, and an authentic Moroccan welcome to an old, and fast-disappearing, way of life. A great treasure. We will be back next year, inshallah!

Super expérience chez Ali et sa famille en mode routard ! Nous avons été reçu comme la famille, Ali est au petit soin et d une grande gentillesse. Nous avons mangé notre meilleur couscous du séjour chez Ali avec sa femme et ses enfants. Et nous avons eu une expérience de treck et bivouac dans le désert exceptionnelle et authentique. Nous étions juste nous 4 avec mon mari et nos filles de 10 et 14 ans, accompagné par Ali et Mohamed, le chamelier. Ils ont tout géré, pour le bivouac (tentes, matelas, couvertures…) les repas (tajines, brochettes…) et thé délicieux au milieu des dunes. Ali a été notre seul interlocuteur du début a la fin, pas d intermédiaire. Nous avions donc prévu 1 nuit a la kasbah, le bivouac et une autre nuit chez lui (ou nous avons regardé ensemble la finale de foot) . Il y a même de l eau chaude et électricité a la Kasbah. Tout était parfait ! 👍

I recommend this place 100%. If you're looking for an authentic and less touristic experience, staying here is one of the best options. Ali and his family will demonstrate typical Moroccan hospitality by welcoming you with open arms and offering you delicious food. The meals are always big and tasty (salads, couscous, tajine, fruits, cakes...). The accommodation is more than sufficient (the Kasbah is a traditional house made out of mud and wood mainly, so you will have to get used to a bit of dust and sand). But you have all the basics you need: a bed, a private bathroom with sink, toilet and shower. As for the desert adventure, Ali will make sure to give you the best experience. He will organise everything from scratch: the food, the tents, the blankets, the mats, the tea of course, and the places you go to (where no other tourists go). The camelier he brought along was very nice, brought a great vibe while singing berber songs by the fire and tought us how to make a proper shesh! Make sure to bring warm clothes as it can get very chilly during the night and light clothes for the day which cover up your whole body (to protect yourself from the sun but also out of respect for the local traditions, I would highly recommend long dresses for women and long pants for men, they will appreciate the effort). The place is accessible by taking a bus (CTM company) to Zagora or Mhamid (much closer). If you arrive in Zagora, you will need to get a collective taxi (less than 2h away and as always, you can negotiate a reasonable price). From Mhamid, you might be able to ask the driver to stop (as it is 7km before the last stop), but you can always get a cab back for a few MDA. From Marrakech, the ticket was 170MDA to Zagora and 190MDA for the way back from Mhamid. If you have any doubts on how to get there, Ali will be more than happy to help you out and even call the cab driver to tell him where to stop. The price of our stay was reasonable considering we stayed 2 nights at the Kasbah and 2 nights in the desert (all included- food, camel rides, accommodation etc). Keep in mind that the family has not been able to work as there were no tourists for the past 2 years because of covid and that they rely entirely on this business to make a living. They will not try to rip you off (like you might expect it in many places in Morocco) and the amount is fair and goes to families who work hard and deserve it. The living conditions in their region have been very difficult because of the pandemic and the droughts which don't allow them to grow anything anymore and forces them to buy always more expensive water. The money you give them is worth every single cent and you know it goes to deserving and incredibly generous people. If you want to live the real Moroccan and desert experience, Kasbah Ali will be no disappointment

If you are after a uniquely authentic Moroccan experience Ali’s family Kasbah is a fantastic option. Ali and his family take great pride in welcoming guests to their beautiful traditional mud brick Kasbah. We were made to feel part of the family with incredible hospitality that I’ve rarely seen anywhere else. Ali offers basic but cozy accommodation at the Kasbah. The rooms are also mud-brick and furnished with a comfortable bed and bathroom with a European toilet. Hot showers are possible on request (a wood fire must be lit ahead of time to heat the hot water drum). Ali and his family serve delicious local dishes. Quantities are copious! Mint tea and dates are also a staple. It is possible to organise a trip in the desert for one or more days. We organised to spend 2 nights in the desert which was an incredible experience. Ali organised to have two camels to carry the tents, equipment, food and water over the 3 days. We were also accompanied by a cameleer called Hussein who was extremely kind and helpful. Both Ali and Hussein went out of their way to make sure we had the best possible 3 days in the desert. During the 3 days of hiking, they took us through an area of beautiful dunes which are untouched by organised tours or any permanent tourist camps. The meals they prepared were delicious and copious. Each night we set up camp in stunning secluded spots between the dunes that felt completely out of this world. Overall a stay with Ali and his family is a unique experience that certainly will give you an authentic taste of Moroccan Touareg culture that no tourist desert camp or hotel can offer. I highly recommend Ali’s kasbah and I hope to have the opportunity to return soon!

A group of eight of us, headed into the desert for a ten-day retreat and trek organised by Desert Majesty in Ouarzazate, were guided and looked after in the desert by the wonderful Ali from the Kasbah Touareg, which is actually in Bounou, a few Km before M'hamid, and 800m off the main road, well-signposted. The Kasbah Touareg is a 300-year old traditional mud building housing Ali's extended family, and is a haven of quiet, welcoming hospitality and a fine jumping-off point for the desert. Accommodation in rooms is simple but clean, and the hospitality and food are perfect. The couscous at the Kasbah is, in fact, famous. Ali will give visitors a tour of the fascinating, well-preserved and maintained ancient kasbah building and a small museum. And you will drink lots of delicious, sweet, mint tea! Highly recommended.

Nous avons adoré séjourner chez Ali. Toute la famille prendra bien soin de vous. Ali vous organisera un bivouac dans les dunes pour une ou plusieurs nuits, balade à dos de dromadaires. La nourriture est excellent et cuisinée par Fatima ou Lisa ses soeurs. Sans oublier le délicieux thé préparé par son papa Chérif. Le logement est simple mais propre. De nombreux coins pour se prélasser. Nous reviendrons pour profiter de ce bel endroit et pour partager de chaleureux moments avec nos amis, sans oublier Amina, l'épouse d'Ali, d'une incroyable gentillesse. Notre départ fut émouvant, mais comme on dit au Maroc : il faut partir pour revenir !!

we spent one night at his accommodation and we were one night with him in the dune next to the kasbash. The food in the accommodation was fine, but the served water was not bottled water, so that I got stomache problems. The night in the dune was calm though not far to the village of ouled driss. Ali as a host was polite, but appeared to be stressed and not always confortable with the situation.

Cet endroit est pour moi le vrai Maroc, authentique, calme, convivial et familial! Une famille hors du commun à qui on rend visite depuis plus de 20 ans . Vous serez toujours bien reçu , Ali et sa famille sera au petit soin avec vous et vous accompagnera durant votre séjour selon vos envies et motivations (visite de village, trek en bivouac avec dromadaire) . Des repas comme vous en n’avez jamais mangé (couscous à ne pas manquer). Derrière cette auberge se cache le désert où vous pouvez admirer des supers levées de soleil en 10-15min de marche. Je recommande fortement la visite de cette famille, au sein de cette auberge encore authentique, qui a le cœur sur la main et ne vous laissera pas indifférent sur votre séjour.

Endroit hors du temps où Ali et son épouse vous offrent un accueil chaleureux. Sans aucun doute, passez le voir si vous êtes dans le coin. Il vous fera visiter son petit musée personnel, où les objets usuels s'habillent de la patine magique qui vous fera rêver aux caravanes dans le désert.
