Our driver/ guide Yassine Taibine was excellent: friendly, calm, informative without being intrusive. He drove with skill and great attention to safety and comfort. We enjoyed his company very much.

Hotel Reviews
Ksar Sultan Dades
El Hart

Nicely decorated and clean rooms but poor noise insulation. Could clearly hear neighboring showers in use, and other guests’ children running around. Fortunately things quieted down at bedtime. Hotel is set on a hilltop, reached by a gravel road. Wonderful views. Walking to restaurants in town would have been tough, but dinner (set menu) and breakfast were served onsite.

Modern hotel, but past its prime. Built with nice finishes, but not well maintained.

Seating pavilion next to the camp was not in use, yet brightly lit, detracting from the night sky. Suggest changing this to allow for easier Milky Way viewing.

We were steered into a restaurant recommended by our local guide. Food was good, but would have appreciated a few options.
