Ali and his family run this authentic Moroccon hotel very well. It overlooks the Erg Chebbi sand dunes which Ali can take you out to stay in overnight or for just a trip.. His son Hassan can take you out on quad bikes. He will also guide you on your own dirtbikes through the dunes and if things get too hard for you then he will ride your bike back while you ride the quad. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. Evening food was great too. Highly recommend

The place is really beautiful. Owners are very kind and helpful. We took a trip on camels at sunset that the owner organized for us and it was great. The breakfast was delicious and big. We were during winter and it was warm in the room thanks to air condition. Also owner can organize 4x4 trip and has quad for rent.

Everything was perfect.

Ali is the perfect host and will meet your every needs. My daughter and I went on an overnight Camel ride and stay in a Berber tent which was was about 1 hrs ride in to the dunes. This was great apart from the quad bikes which I feel ruin the peace and tranquility of the dunes. Apart from this aspect our stay was perfect.

We didn't like the Quads but Ali really can't help this unless he moves his camp further in to the dunes.

This is a wonderful place to stay, very quiet and family-run. You're much closer to the dunes than you are in Merzouga, and it's not too difficult to get into town if you want to, although the village has a few useful shops and places to eat. Ali was friendly and very helpful and yet also gave me plenty of space. He helped me organise transport to Ouzina for a very fair price and even gave me a lift into town once. This is the kind of place that all independent travellers should be supporting - it's affordable, offers all you need, and is run by local people.

I liked everything.

There is no rating high enough that can truly summarize how we felt during the couple of days we spent with Ali at his place. We met an extraordinary man (and his son); incredibly kind and "HUMAN" who built a jewel of a place, just a stone away from an amazing desert. La Vallee des Dunes is a beautiful Riad; our room was very nice, clean and comfortable with its en-suite bathroom. Breakfast was excellent and dinner was delicious... This already deserved a 10/10! But additionally, Ali organized for us a Camel Sunrise Ride and a 2-hour Quad experience in the desert: This was EXTRAORDINARY and WONDERFUL! He also took us on a 4-hour 4x4 drive in the desert he loves so much...This was AMAZING! This brings the score to 20 out of 10!! The whole experience at the Vallee des Dunes will stay with us forever, also thanks to a beautiful human being! THANK YOU ALI... We truly hope that our paths will cross again.

Stayed two nights and ate there each evening. Couldn't have been much better, all local fresh produce. Also did a 4x4 trip with Ali and an hour of quad biking too, all organised by Ali, aided by his sons.

Perfect Location and brilliant staff. Right in front of the Dunes. Great view of the dunes and easy to walk too. The property is just outside the town which was a big plus for me as I didn't get hassled by the Tourist touts at all. Breakfast and dinner were excellent. Assan made the best Tagine that I had in Morroco and also organised a Camel trip and brought me on a 4*4 excursion into and around the desert which was one of the highlights of my Morroco road trip. The room itself was big and comfortable. Also had heating and was great value for money.

This place is the best for anyone seeking Sahara nature. Such a peaceful place to stay and relax in best company of Ali and Assou, only 5 minute walk into the dunes. It couldn't have been any better. The rooms were really beautiful in the nice house, the food was the best I've had in the whole of marocco, it's awesome to watch stars - and lots of shooting stars - right from the hotel; all tours can be booked straight there - quad tours or Camel rides through the desert and service (like special wishes for watermelon <3) is the best as there is. Totally recommended to go there! Thanks so much Ali and Assou for the wonderful stay with you, for all the talks, games and laughter we shared - for all the great memories. Hope to see you soon again! Mechthild & Jarina

It was all perfect:)

Ali is very welcoming and friendly. He also arranged a camel trek and night in the desert for us. The dinners and breakfasts are tasty and big. The location is beautiful and You can see the dunes right on the other side of the road.

Our stay there was great! The staff is super accommodating and we never had an included breakfast that big!! I would definitely stay there again.
