Staying at Chez les Habitants Merzuga Guesthouse is one of the most extraordinary experiences you can have in Morocco. The family is very generous, kind and friendly, the food is good and spending a couple of night in the desert is amazing. Guaranteed the real sahara experience you can get in Morocco!

If you are looking for an authentic Bedouin, but comfortable stay, go to Chez les Habitantes. I was here with my boyfriend and we enjoyed both the stay guest house and the tour in desert a lot. The guest house is newly renovated and Ahmed is a great tourist guide. I think with him you experience the real desert life!

Very professional, very dedicated, yet very relaxed experience. Ahmed has a wealth of local and historical knowledge and enough contacts to do or get whatever you want. According to Ahmed, all camels in Morocco are named either Bob Marley or Jimi Hendrix, at least where tourists are concerned. Our Bob Marley was a bit fussy at first but fairly good-natured... More
