  • Wrought Iron Tour - Dades Gorges

    Sahara Atlas Tours We took the opportunity to visit a new hotel being built by the owners of Auberge Chez Pierre , which is directly opposite Monkey Fingers. Wrought iron is an iron alloy with lower carbon content than cast iron. It is a semi-fused mass of iron with fibrous slag inclusions, which gives it a "grain" resembling wood that is visible when it is etched or bent to the point of failure. The finished work.

  • Chez Ichou - Dades Gorges

    Chez Ichou Stunning Riad in Dades Valley. Upon arrival, you are mesmerised by your surroundings; the location is instant relaxation. The Riad is new and stylish. The rooms are spacious, the shower and hot water pressure are excellent, and the bed is heaven. You were also treated to beautiful bathroom amenities; the shampoo and shower gel quality was a pleasant surprise after travelling for a few months. Fortunately, we had a balcony view with the sun beaming in, perfect for a cup of tea and a good book. The food was exceptional, we enjoyed Tajines each night, and the morning breakfast spread was everything you could imagine. What's more, you didn't go hungry. It was also a very cosy dining room next to the fireplace. The staff is lovely, and we enjoyed getting to know them all and making them feel very welcome throughout our four-night stay. Hussain was also very responsive and efficient in communicating via English. The staff were lovely, communicating and getting to know them all, and made us feel very welcome throughout our stay of 4 nights. Hussain was also very responsive and efficient in sharing via English. There was also a communal pool with a pool; although the weather in January didn't permit swimming, it would be the perfect chill-out spot in the warmer months. Located in the Dades Valley, you could wander into the nearest villages and take beautiful walks by the creek, nature at its best. We would visit again should we be lucky enough to spend more time in the area.

  • The Place - Marrakech

    The Place It's a piece of paradise. Welcome to the most beautiful oasis just outside of Marrakech. Upon entering this incredible Riad, you are transported to a little piece of heaven. Leo will give you a tour of your home for the next few days (we wish we had booked much longer than three nights). The atmosphere at The Place is what we had hoped for; it was so peaceful and relaxing. We were there in the middle of winter, and we were blessed with 20-degree days. We enjoyed the sun by the pool—you could even tan! The sunsets were also incredible on the rooftop, with a beautiful backdrop of the mountains. The food and service are at the next level; we fell in love with the tajines, fresh smoothies and salads, and healthy diet—you feel great after a few days here. It was a pleasant surprise to find out wine was available, too. Our room exceeded our expectations and was much more spacious than we imagined. The bed was huge, with a beautiful, cosy duvet. We loved our stay at The Place and would stay there again; it felt like home, and we loved spending time with Winston, the resident French dog. We were heading to Ait Benhaddou and received a very competitive price from Leo for our following two transfers. It was a very safe trip through the mountains. Thank you to Leo, Jakob, and the team for hosting us at your sensational Riad.

  • Riad Caravane - Ait Ben Haddou

    Riad Caravane It was a perfect relaxing getaway. It was everything we had hoped for and more. From check-in to check-out, it was faultless. It was a hidden gem in the Atlas Mountains, a perfect place to unwind and relax. The views were spectacular. Our room was gorgeous and modern, with a great shower and hot water pressure. The bed was heaven. It was so spacious and immaculate. You could easily spend a few days chilling out here and slowing life down. The beautifully designed rooftops offer plenty of areas for all guests. We even enjoyed a game of Scrabble in the sun on the roof with a bottle of wine. We stayed here for five nights and dined at the Riad each day. The breakfast and dinners were delicious. The environment was warm, and you became familiar with all the staff and guests. It was very intimate. The food and a vast range of local dishes were an absolute delight daily. Riad Caravane was a short walk to the nearest village and only 15 minutes to Ksar, an Ancient town and UNESCO site. The staff were exceptional, from check-in and housekeeping to restaurant staff; they always loved chatting, and nothing was too much. A special thank you to everyone at the Riad for the service and exceptional treatment on my birthday; I was surprised by a beautiful homemade cake and local musicians during dinner. We highly recommend Riad Caravane, and you won’t be disappointed!
