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.
