About Hotel Les Roches Merzouga

Learn about Hotel Les Roches Merzouga — a family-run desert hotel and tour operator on the Erg Chebbi dunes. Founded in 2004, led by local Berber guides with 20+ years of Sahara experience.

Home › About Us

Hotel Les Roches Merzouga is a family business, born and raised at the foot of the Erg Chebbi dunes. We opened our doors in 2004, and three things have never changed: we are local, we are Berber, and we run everything ourselves.

Our story

Our family has lived in this corner of the Sahara for generations — long before tourism, when the desert was simply home. When we built the hotel, we wanted to share that home the way we'd welcome a friend: honestly, warmly, and without the polish of a faceless agency. Today the same family still greets you at reception, drives the 4x4, leads the camel treks and cooks at the camp.

Why travel with us

  • We're locals. Born in Merzouga, fluent in the desert and its stories.
  • We own our tours and camp. No sub-contracting — quality and price stay in our hands.
  • 20+ years of experience. Thousands of happy travellers since 2004.
  • We speak your language. English, French, Spanish, Arabic and Berber.

Our team

From our lead guides to the cooks who prepare your tagine under the stars, every member of our team is local and part of the extended family. When you travel with us, you're not a booking number — you're our guest.

Come and see for yourself. Get in touch and we'll start planning your Sahara trip.
