A desert dream: dunes in the backyard, sand hammams, Saharawi music jam sessions and mechoui (whole roast lamb) feasts on starry terraces. Retreat to Amizigh (Berber) tents or mud-brick huts that sleep six to eight, sleep on the roof, or curl up between crisp cotton sheets in the main house. Three-course lunches and dinners (Dh130) available, plus lighter options (Dh80).
Instead of the usual sandy pool, Dar Sidi Bounou offers desert immersion experiences such as landscape-painting, cooking or belly-dancing classes. It’s 4km beyond Ouled Driss.
