Riads, eco-lodges, and desert: Discover your accommodations
The accommodations are an integral part of the magic of Morocco Nomads. Throughout your SUV road trip, you'll alternate between authentic addresses and unique spots in the great outdoors. From the cozy charm of traditional riads in the heart of the medinas to eco-lodges nestled peacefully in the Atlas Mountains, each stop will introduce you to a new way of life.
Good news: comfort and the art of living are always on the agenda. Most hotels and eco-lodges feature fantastic relaxation spaces, excellent local cuisine for your dinners, and at many stops, a pool to cool off after a day of driving or exploring.
And some stops are worth the detour on their own: in the Atlas Mountains, your eco-lodge offers a breathtaking view of the peaks and Berber valleys, perfect for recharging in the cool air. In Agafay, you'll sleep among the earthen dunes, experiencing the magical desert under a comfortable nomadic tent, bathed in spectacular light.
