Riad Imuhar is the most beautiful place to stay. Hamid built this superb guesthouse with the help of another local craftsman from traditional materials of this area ; Clay plaster over clay bricks , Clay wall interiors with dappled light brown and red hues, such a beautiful natural finish that the grand designs team would be raving about... So much texture , artistic touches everywhere. Large bedrooms with beds thst are so comfortable , perfect pillows . Ornate spacious bathrooms . It's December.and cold here in the mornings and at night. Amazingly , you come through the front door and you feel heat everywhere . There are no heaters ! ..it's the clay walls. Natural storage heaters that emit heat at night and in the summer Vice Versa , the clay keeps the place cool. How about that for eco friendly. Hamid is also a fountain of Knowledge on Amazigh culture. Really Cool. I've learnt a lot from him about the trees that grow in this climate, the language , it's beautiful alphabet. He kniows the desert , has camels and does treks and trips into it. The real deal. He has made me the best meals i've had in Morocco , perhaps ever , garnished with herbs from the garden. A brilliant chef. Large colourful healthy meals..So good. Himself and Maria have been the kindest of hosts. I stayed here an extra day just to be here in this beautiful tranquil house.. You've got the desert outside and can walk right into it..Amazing..so quiet, still ..vast. I highly recomend you stay here. It's beautiful.

Aziz is the most lovely host, and so are the friends he works with. His kindness exceeded all expectations. He shared his knowledge of the desert and his culture with great patience and generosity. One of the things I loved about our stay is that it was very local and authentic. It is not a big business, it is Aziz working with people he knows and trusts, to create the desert experience you are looking for. I would highly recommend spending at least 4 nights: 1st night at Aziz's place in M'Hamid, 2 nights at the big dune's camp and one night to wrap it up at Aziz's again. Aziz's place is on the edge of the village, so not in the hustle-bustle of the center, but still only 5-10 min away from it by foot. His house is very homey, pretty and comfortable. Aziz even cooked us a homemade vegetarian lunch! And we got to meet Kashba the cat! The next day, on the way to the big dunes, we stopped at an oasis, and while waiting for our lunch (which was delicious) Aziz called (yes, called) a baby goat for us to pet and play with. He even found a sand fish (type of lizard) for us once at the dunes. The guys running the big dunes camp were absolutely lovely as well - they offered better service and food than in many city places! The tents are comfortable, the bathrooms are clean and the place to hang out outside surprisingly pretty and tidy (keeping in mind it's the desert, they cannot perform miracles with the sand either!). And you can add to the trip by taking a camel ride in the big dunes. Or decide to sleep on the dune wrapped up in a blanket, as I did! All in all, a lovely experience, I hope I can come back! Aziz is very flexible, so if you have something different than what I described in mind, please let him know and I am sure he will find something to fit your needs. Cheers!
