Morocco is a varied and contrasting country, which is not only manifested in its landscapes, its cities, and its traditions, but also in the places destined to host its travelers. For this reason, in this post, we tell you 4 types of accommodation in Morocco, which are special for some reason and that we can provide you according to your preferences.
Riad/Riyadh: a choice that makes the difference;
As we mentioned in a previous piece, riad means “house” or “garden,” and its distinctiveness rests in the natural components that adorn the structure: water sources, plants, flowers, and so on. The riad can be found in both huge cities and little towns throughout the world. desert. They occupy buildings in the heart of the medina, sometimes on two stories surrounding a central courtyard, in the case of cities. Fez, Marrakech, and Chaouen are some of the cities where they can be found. Small desert villages, on the other hand, adopt a more open morphology, which can be found in adobe constructions or even historic kasbahs, as in the Dades Valley.
Tents in the desert dunes:
When our circuits reach the desert dunes, called Ergs, one of the great attractions is the accommodation that we use in them: tent camps located in the middle of these large expanses of fine sand, under an immense starry sky. They are made up of Berber tents, used by desert nomads since time immemorial. And their quality standards are so high that, in many cases, they are considered luxury tents. In Erg Chebbi you can enjoy this type of accommodation in Morocco.
Hotel in the desert
The hotel is an alternative for those who travel to the desert and seek unique accommodation. But it should not be understood as the classic Western hotels driven by functionality, but rather as adobe constructions set in an exotic and suggestive way, endowed with outdoor space that acts as a true oasis. Some of them even have a swimming pool. In the Merzouga desert, for example, we can provide you with this type of accommodation.
Resorts on the beach
Morocco has seen a growth in sun and beach tourism in recent decades, thanks in large part to the coastal holiday resorts. Agadir is the city of the Atlantic, and other nearby cities such as Taghazout are joining it. In the Mediterranean, Alhucemas is one of the most well-established resorts, with newer additions such as Saidia.
Other accommodations in Morocco
There are additional accommodations in Morocco that will astonish you and that we can organize for you, in addition to the riad, the tent camp, the hotel in the desert, or the beach resort. This is true of urban luxury hotels, with Marrakech leading the way. Apartments, especially in more metropolitan towns such as Tangier, are also an alternative for those on a tighter budget.
Whatever your taste, you can call our agency at any time of year to book a hotel that meets your needs and budget in the destination of your choice.
