Rissani is only 1 hour noth of Merzouga. On certain days they have an animal market where they sell donkeys, camels, goats,sheep,horses etc. A guide cost only 50 dirham for an hour and is with while. Very few tourist stop here.

This place is an absolute goldmine of a stopover if you are steering your front tyre toward the Sahara. Hamid and his crew dish out genuine Moroccan hospitality—they treat you like family from the moment you pull off your helmet and hand you a hot mint tea. The rooms are basic but spotless, the AC cuts right through the desert heat, and the traditional breakfasts served up on the roof terrace are top-tier for fueling a long day in the saddle. Sitting on that roof watching the town souk come alive is proper traveling. It's dirt cheap, authentic, and the perfect tactical base camp before heading down into the dunes.

Things to know

Auto-generated from public sources — verify against the rider experience above.

Keep your expectations realistic; this is an authentic, budget local townhouse setup rather than a touristy western resort, so several room options feature shared bathrooms. Parking is open street parking, so even though the staff keep a solid eye on the entrance around the clock, you will want to break out your heavy-duty disc locks and lock the bikes together for your own peace of mind. Also, card machines aren't a thing out here—make sure your tank bag has plenty of cash Dirhams before arriving.

Parking & security

Parking verifiedStreet parkingFree parking1-5 spaces

When you arrive there it looks a bit daunting as you park in front of the building between pushbikes mopeds and other stuff. But after 11 pm your bike is the only one in the street and on the roundabout in front of the hotel you will see a guard who over everything all night long. As it was hot I slept on the roof and looked over the edge every few hours. Not a problem the guard was always there.
