Dar Ahlam

A dream house on the doorstep of the Moroccan desert

In the heart of the Skoura palm grove, near Ouarzazate, this traditional kasbah opens a parenthesis in time, where the hours will be more beautiful than your dreams.

A poetic experience, far from the conventions of traditional hospitality.

Dar Ahlam is not a hotel.

It is a house of 14 suites that transforms with the seasons, where there are no keys, no reception.

No set schedule, no restaurant to sit in. We have broken free from all the usual hospitality codes to bring poetry to the art of welcoming.

Every moment of your stay is carefully orchestrated. Unique experiences designed exclusively for you, in service of your emotions.

It is up to you to choose how to embrace this enchanted interlude.

"Never ask for directions from someone who knows the way, for you might never get lost."

Hannane Bourriche

With a mischievous smile and sparkling eyes, Hanane wanders through the palm grove, pointing toward the snow-capped peaks of the Atlas Mountains etched into the horizon. She was born in this labyrinth of date palms and almond trees, where she nurtured her passion through the seasons: storytelling. Today, she is the guardian of dreams in our house. A storyteller who invites you to let go of reason and embrace new passions. Because behind the heavy doors of the kasbah, stories are everywhere. In the cracks of a wall, behind a bookshelf, by the fireplace… Keep your eyes open, and you’ll discover them hidden in centuries-old reeds. Once used to protect the most precious papers and contracts, they now cradle joyful invitations to contemplation.
