Overview

Located in the serene Ounila Valley, Caravane Hotel offers a tranquil retreat just a 10-minute walk from the fortified village of Aït Benhaddou. With views of Ksar Ait-Ben-Haddou and the High Atlas mountains, you'll be within driving distance of the bustling city of Ouarzazate and the historic Kasbah Tifoultoute. The hotel's off-the-beaten-track location provides an opportunity to escape the noise and immerse yourself in the region's natural beauty.

Caravane's air-conditioned rooms are beautifully decorated in a Kasbah style with African-inspired details such as rattan, Berber rugs, and adobe interiors. Each room has a wardrobe and a private bathroom with a rainfall shower and designer toiletries. If you don't want to use the air conditioning, each room has a ceiling fan, which is a nice addition on hot summer nights.

Caravane Hotel stands out because of its authentic character and excellent food. Enjoy a delicious three-course meal at the restaurant or indulge in the superb cuisine at the hotel's rooftop terrace while enjoying the sunset views. Caravane's commitment to providing a memorable experience in a uniquely designed setting makes it a top choice for travelers seeking tranquility and exceptional service.

Caravane in Ouarzazate stood out as exceptionally nice with wonderful food. The staff were super helpful, making my stay very pleasant. Their assistance and hospitality were truly commendable. It was one of my favorite accommodations during the trip. Caravane was the only place with a pool which was very nice with outdoor patio and even sun hats provided. I wish we had more nights to stay here.

SO BEAUTIFUL. So beautifully designed. So much attention to detail. I especially loved the zellige tiles in the bathroom.

Authenticity & Character
Although I truly appreciate the aforementioned beautifulness, also sometimes the decorations are generically "African" and not really specific to Morocco.
Location
Not far from Ait Ben Haddou kasbah, but be prepared that the walk there is about half on the paved road and half on unpaved, sometimes-muddy path that isn't always clear. It borders a stream and ascends and descends a bit. It took us about 10-15 minutes while rushing, so maybe 20 minutes if not rushing.
Staff
The staff are 9000% amazing at this hotel. Kind, attentive, friendly, really go the extra mile.
Cleanliness & Comfort
Only one thing: The shower didn't drain well so we had to stop the water every minute or so to let it drain before starting the water again.
