When planning a trip to the Sahara, it is important to consider
We suggest we help you plan your itinerary, length of stay, transport and dates.
Activities and Outings
We recommend that you focus on 4 routes radiating out from the Ouarzazate/ Skoura area
"Some landscapes rank amongst the most beautifully dramatic I've ever seen - and I have travelled a lot." R Horsley, 10/06
Relaxation. If you just want to relax nearer to home, all accommodations have a private sun terrace and some have pools.
Climate. In view of the extreme climate this area is best visited in spring and autumn. In winter days are warm but nights chilly: however, heating is provided in all acoommodations. We strongly advise against travel to most of this area in midsummer, though Skoura oasis has a microclimate that makes it acceptable.
