Overview

Tucked away in the village of Aït Ouffi, the Dar Rihana Dades guesthouse is at the gateway of the renowned Dades Gorge. The 6-hour journey from Marrakesh is a small price to pay for the opportunity to bask in the tranquil beauty of the Dadès Valley. With just a short trip to the nearby gorges, you'll be in an ideal locale to explore the natural landscapes, rich with opportunities for hiking and visits to the Roses and Todra Valleys.

Every room at Dar Rihana Dades is spacious and welcoming, with traditional decor yet modern furnishings. Past kimkim travelers have lauded the hotel's attention to cleanliness and comfort, with plush beds draped in ample blankets and special touches like the distinctive bathrooms. Each room is equipped with air-conditioning, and some even have private panoramic terraces, offering sweeping views over the gardens and the age-old structures of Aït Ouffi.

While the guesthouse features a sun-drenched private pool, the true heart of Dar Rihana Dades lies in its restaurant. Here, you'll be treated to an innovative menu that brings a new twist to local flavors, moving beyond traditional Moroccan dishes like tajines and couscous. With a daily rotating menu, each meal becomes a new experience.
