The best accommodations Ouarzazate & Area

Sawadi is a hotel located in the Skoura palm grove, 7 km from the town center. The access road is not paved, but it's easily accessible by conventional car. The palm grove is home to the famous Kasbah d'Amerhidil, a historic landmark whose image is featured on Moroccan 50-Dirham banknotes. Skoura Ahl El Oust is an agricultural village 40 km east of Ouarzazate, on the Route des 1 000 Kasbahs. Ouarzazate airport has direct flights from Paris and Casablanca, and it takes around 45 minutes to reach Sawadi from the airport. From Marrakech, most visitors come by car, crossing the Atlas Mountains via the Tizi-n-Tichka pass. It is also possible to take the bus from Marrakech bus station to Skoura. Sawadi has won the Trophée National du Tourisme Responsable and has been awarded the Clef Verte label.

They enter through a long corridor, before discovering the interior of this 1944 and very well restored Kasbah. The rooms have a Berber character, which gives the establishment character and a certain reputation. Unfortunately, the hotel is not well maintained, and it is even felt in the reception and kitchen. The Tomboctou is resting on his laurels without seeing that the kasbah loses a little every day of his soul. There is a restaurant next door, whose main clientele consists of tourist groups.

In front of the large dune of the Erg Chebi, thirty-five rooms with showers, swimming pool.
