Absolutely essential to book a place before you go to the Erg Chebbi. Having visited the Erg before, this time decided to splurge a little and it was so worth it. The perfect relaxing end to our trip. Spectacular location right on the dunes. We were treated like VIP's, waited on hand and foot and the best bit, absolutely no hassle from camel trip touts as is so annoying prevelant at almost all the hotels along Hassi Labied-Merzouga. The camel trips are a major source of extra income for the hotels but the daily pushyness of some hotels can be offputting and some of the trips overrated - an hour or two out on the camel at sunset is enough. Paying the extra was worth it, they didn't even mention camel trips during the 3 nights we stayed. The room was huge more like a suite, very clean with all mod cons, right by the excellent pool area and with several terraces and super food this place is the perfect unwinding retreat for a romantic Moroccan adventure. If you come to see the Erg Chebbi and don't stay here, you can pay to come in for the day and use the pool, but I wouldn't reccomend it because you'll just leave regretting you didn't book the Kasbah Mohayut.
