We recently had the most enchanting experience at Riad Kasbah Aiour during our holiday in Merzouga. From the moment we arrived, the warmth and hospitality of the staff, especially Addi, made our stay truly memorable. The riad’s authentic charm, combined with Addi’s attentive service, created an atmosphere of relaxation and cultural immersion. Addi, in particular, went above and beyond to ensure we felt welcomed and taken care of. His local insights and recommendations enhanced our exploration of Merzouga, making it an unforgettable journey. Our stay at Riad Kasbah Aiour was nothing short of magical, thanks to the exceptional team and Addi’s outstanding service. We highly recommend this riad for an authentic and delightful experience in Merzouga.

The room we were given was small for a family of 3. We had several luggage with us as traveling with a kid during winters needed more packing of clothes but was very tough to open and use our luggage inside the room.

- Location : Great! Just nearby the dunes - Staff : friendly and professional - Food : great food quality and diversity There is also a small camp with few tents as part of the riad in the desert which look also very nice and well placed compared to others seen in the surroundings. I would definitely recommend take the riad or tent offers in this hotel because you wouldn't see that much difference being in another camp in the desert and you probably would be close to other camps.

- Sad that we didn't have the possibility to test the tent offer :)

We loved the staff at this Kasbah, it’s not too far from the town yet you still are under the vast sky and the sand dunes. The rooms were really clean, comfortable and hygienic. Super spacious tents with all the facilities you could possibly get when camping. Very luxurious glamping experience for us. We enjoyed the night shows with traditional Berber music with a bonfire under the sky viewing the desert. The breakfast was delicious! Dinner is not included but you can purchase it. The staff is really helpful and kind. Definitely worth a visit here. Totally recommend staying at the tents here.

The room was very spacious and well organized. We had everything we needed. The environment was clean and very well decorated with plants. It was not crowded, the fire place especially was very creative and comfortable to sit for a long time just gazing at the stars and the dessert.

The rooms were hot but this was due to where we were located. A few more windows in the bathroom will be nice to redirect unpleasant smells.

Staff literally amazing and went above and beyond for us - shoutout to Addi he is 10/10 helpful. We were allowed to use the pool next door which was so refreshing. All food was delicious. The dunes are in the backyard! There was a very rare rain storm in Merzouga while we were there and you wouldn’t have known based on how accommodating the staff were.

Dinner was a little expensive. The bed was a little hard. Shower was a little janky. Hotel excursions were slightly overpriced.

The staff were super friendly and helpful, doing everything they could to help us and make us comfortable. Some of them were also talented musicians which we found out after dinner one night when they played some traditional music by a campfire in the dunes. The room (we didn’t stay in one of the tents) was nice and the bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. Powerful shower with instant hot water. There were multiple options for activities that could be booked directly from the hotel for a reasonable price. The location is obviously a big draw and doesn’t disappoint, located directly next to the dunes of the Sahara desert. The unusual silence of the area was rarely broken and walks on the dunes at anytime are always an option. Stunning sunsets, sunrises and incredible star gazing opportunities were real bonuses. The breakfast was really nice and the dinner also didn’t disappoint in its variety or tastiness. The only thing we regret is that we couldn’t stay another day. Highly recommended

We stayed in a tent behind the hotel looking out at the dunes. The tent is spacious, very nicely decorated, clean and with good bathroom facilities. From the tent you can easily walk into the dunes to watch the sunset. The food for breakfast and dinner was delicious. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. They organized some music and a fire at night while we were able to enjoy the night sky. It was really a great experience staying at Riad Kasbah Aiour!

We stayed one night at the Riad and had an additional night at a Camp inside the desert. Both were fantastic and we enjoyed the quietness and the beauty of the stars in our Camp night. The Camp was not from Riad Aiour, but they arranged it for us. Aiour itself has only a luxury camp right next to the Riad. If you are searching for a Basic Camp in the middle of the desert ask them. We payed 65€ p.P.

The food was really delicious but way to much. We dont like to waste it.

Very nice place, comfortable and welcoming place. Stuff is really friendly. I appreciated the contact with them, all of them. Service and food are excellent, and prices more than reasonable. Location is one of the best things here. Dunes are right in front. Driving to Khemlia is short to enjoy gnawa music or eat Medfouna. Rissani also is not too far to visit the souk, historical landmarks, kasbahs and Ksour.

Not related to the Kasbah itself. Unfortunately some tourists luck obvious respect to locals and other tourists, mainly in two ways: leaving trash on dunes (despite local associations collecting it on regular basis) and these guys who love quads quads and other mechanical sports in dunes. While you go there on feet or camel to enjoy sunset or sunrise in some quiet, there are always a few ones turning around and making crazy noise without any consideration to how locals or others feel about it. Talked to authorities about it. I have been told that they have a plan that will be executed in a few months, in order to limit their zone and hours.

very authentic place, just next to the sand dunes, with lot of activitites. Good dinner and very good breakfast was served. At the evening there is a local music and dance show next to the fire place. Our kids loved the dune and the camel ride. The exterior and interior is like in a real kasbah, very nicely designed.
