01 / ONE HOME, ONE FAMILY

A place.
Connections that last.

We are Hassan and Saïd, two brothers born in Merzouga. The dunes where our family grew up are now the place where we welcome travellers from around the world.

From welcoming our first travellers at home to opening our camp and then the riad, our wish has stayed the same: to share our culture, meals and everyday life. Hassan welcomes you to Dar Marhaba. Saïd helps you discover the desert.

A tea, a conversation, the stillness of the courtyard. Take your time and make yourselves at home.
