Riads in Mhamid

Riad Imuhar is the most beautiful place to stay. Hamid built this superb guesthouse with the help of another local craftsman from traditional materials of this area ; Clay plaster over clay bricks , Clay wall interiors with dappled light brown and red hues, such a beautiful natural finish that the grand designs team would be raving about... So much texture , artistic touches everywhere. Large bedrooms with beds thst are so comfortable , perfect pillows . Ornate spacious bathrooms . It's December.and cold here in the mornings and at night. Amazingly , you come through the front door and you feel heat everywhere . There are no heaters ! ..it's the clay walls. Natural storage heaters that emit heat at night and in the summer Vice Versa , the clay keeps the place cool. How about that for eco friendly. Hamid is also a fountain of Knowledge on Amazigh culture. Really Cool. I've learnt a lot from him about the trees that grow in this climate, the language , it's beautiful alphabet. He kniows the desert , has camels and does treks and trips into it. The real deal. He has made me the best meals i've had in Morocco , perhaps ever , garnished with herbs from the garden. A brilliant chef. Large colourful healthy meals..So good. Himself and Maria have been the kindest of hosts. I stayed here an extra day just to be here in this beautiful tranquil house.. You've got the desert outside and can walk right into it..Amazing..so quiet, still ..vast. I highly recomend you stay here. It's beautiful.

Beautiful , peaceful retreat , superbly well looked after, excellent food, comfortable , modern ( brand new ) and spacious room ( bungalow in garden ) . Our host Mohammed took us to the hotels desert camp for wonderful campfire dinner . 4WD tour to Erg Chigaga sand dunes

I was a guest in 2022 and I was very happy to return recently, this time for two weeks. Aziz is a wonderful host. He is a kind and enjoyable to spend time with, and makes sure guests are happy every day. His brother Hassan works with him, making and serving breakfast, and as a co-host. Aziz and Hassan grew up in the desert with their nomadic family (parents, seven children, and extended family of around 50). When Aziz was seven and Hassan was five, the family gave up nomadic living and settled down in Mhamid where they still live. I'm so glad I could make that trip with Aziz last week. I was surprised by how much foliage there is in some parts of the desert. We saw many goats, wild ostrich and camels, and beautiful sunsets. We went to a great desert camp, did a camel ride into the dunes and enjoyed the beauty of the Sahara, spectacular dunes, solitude, and so many photo ops. I will never forget my desert experience with Aziz.
