Ultimate Luxury Morocco

Discover a secluded oasis in a traditional Kasbah on the edge of the Sahara Desert. The Dar Ahlam is a 200 year old rammed earth Kasbah located in the Skoura Palm Grove, surrounded by almond trees and with views overlooking the Atlas Mountains. For the first half of your stay, visit the outstanding Kasbah Amridil. This 17th century marvel embodies the ancient traditions of Southern Kasbal life and was even used in the Hollywood movie Lawrence of Arabia. Alternatively, discover the surrounding region by mountain bike, trekking or horse riding. We recommend visiting the pomegranate filled Valley of Roses, whose fragrant flowers are harvested by local women from the months of April to May.

Spend one night in Dar Ahlam Nomadic Camp in the dunes of the Iriki – an ancient salt lake transformed into an incredible sandscape. Climb to the top of a honey coloured dune to watch the spectacular sunset with a sundowner in hand over the Sahara Desert. Enjoy a campfire dinner with Berber dishes surrounded by glowing lanterns, before falling asleep in a luxury tent with vintage decor under a star filled sky. Wake up for a freshly prepared breakfast, poised atop a sand dune to watch the spectacular morning ritual of the northern African sun rising.

Head back to the Dar Ahlam to cool off in its beautiful almond tree shaded pool. In the afternoon, visit the world famous UNESCO World Heritage Site Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou on the banks of the Ounila River. Located in the Ouarzazate Province, this traditional pre-saharan habitat is a prime example of South Moroccan architecture, with its organic red earthy buildings and decorated battle towers. Spend the evening unwinding in Dar Ahlam’s traditional Hamman or candle lit massage rooms before a gourmet meal in the Kasbah’s gardens, designed by Parisian landscaper Louis Benech.
