Under the large dune of Merzouga, next to a palm grove and very close to the village is located Riad Ali Hotel.

We are in the desert of the Erg Chebbi, in the house of Ali Yakoubi, a Berber of the area that since 2002 has run the hotel and all the activities from there are done.

It is a very cosy hotel, quiet place, with many spaces to be and to stay. A space of light, colours and contrasts, respectful with its surroundings and designed to preserve the authenticity of the architecture and decoration of the area.

When we arrived Ali, Mohamed, Hassan, Aito, Samira and Bedda they welcomed us with their great hospitality. They are waiting for us to offer us the best of their culture, their surroundings and their excellent cuisine.
