Riad Lamane $$$

Offline map (    0524   84  83  88; www.riadlamane.com; d   incl    breakfast   Dh900-1200, incl    half-

board Dh1200-1800; ) Two-storey round bungalows and buffed- tadelakt ‘tents’ (rooms
with gossamer textiles draped from the ceiling), set in a wi-fi-enabled garden with an African-
style bar. Tuareg style prevails in lodge rooms, from tent-post bedsteads to leather-covered
light switches.

Les Jardins du Drâa $$$

Offline map ( 0524 84 67 66; www.riad-zagora.com; d incl breakfast/half-board Dh880/1100,
ste Dh945/1220; ) A converted home inside the Amezrou palm oasis that’s a cheerful
cacophony of stucco, cushions and tile downstairs, with soothing, contemporary guest rooms
featuring canopy beds and sand-hued walls. Families appreciate standards big enough for
three, but romantics upgrade to the Sahara room, with a private balcony. Follow light-blue
markers about 300m from Fibule du Drâa.

Auberge Restaurant Chez Ali $

Offline map (    0524   84  62  58; www.chez-ali.com;   Ave de  l’Atlas Zaouiate    El  Baraka; garden

tents per person Dh40, d incl half-board Dh360-400, showers Dh10) The peacocks stalking
the garden can’t be bothered, but otherwise the welcome here is enthusiastic. Sky-lit standard
rooms upstairs have simple pine furnishings, bathrooms and air-con; tents with pisé walls in the
garden sleep four to five and share bathrooms; and ‘traditional’ rooms have wood-beamed
ceilings, mattresses on carpets and shared bathrooms (room 14 has a private terrace). Enjoy
Berber meals and overnight trips run by friendly English-speaking guides Mohamed and Yusuf.

Hotel la Fibule du Draa $

Offline map (    0524   84  73  18; s/d/tr  incl    breakfast   Dh480/550/700;   )  Unexpected  calm    at  the

Amezrou crossroads, with a palm-shaded pool, garden bar, in-house hammam (from Dh100)
and on-site massages (from Dh330). The 24 basic rooms have pisé walls, en-suite bathrooms,
fridges and climate control of varying reliability. Choose garden-view rooms, and take full
advantage of buffet breakfasts. It’s 50m to the right off the Rte de M’Hamid in Amezrou.

Hotel Zagour $

Offline map (    0524   84  61  78; www.zagour.com; Rte de  M’Hamid;    d   incl    breakfast/half-board

Dh250/400; ) A sharp local team of 11, terrace pool, and air-conditioned rooms with local
decor make stays here a comfortable bargain. Camel reins serving as towel racks and stained-
glass caravan lanterns set a desert mood, and the stuccoed restaurant specialises in Zagora’s
namesake tajine: beef heaped with apricots, plums, raisins, onions, and toasted almonds. It’s
600m before the bridge.

Camping les Jardins de Zagora $
