Your stay · Erg Chebbi, Sahara
Kasbah Hotel Tombouctou
A night on your desert tour at one of the grandest addresses in the Sahara — a vast kasbah facing the Erg Chebbi dunes, with a pool among the sand, a spa and hammam, and rooms in warm tadelakt and natural materials.
The hotel
A grand kasbah, an oasis of comfort in the middle of the desert.
Kasbah Hotel Tombouctou is one of the grandest addresses in the Moroccan Sahara — a vast kasbah, part of the Xaluca group, standing on 60,000 m² of grounds facing the great dunes of Erg Chebbi. It’s built in the traditional way, with natural materials, warm colours, and walls finished in tadelakt, the polished lime plaster of Morocco — an oasis of comfort in the middle of the desert.
Beyond your room there’s an outdoor pool set among the dunes, a spa with a hammam, sauna and jacuzzi, a large restaurant serving Moroccan and international cuisine, bars and a pool bar, and a boutique.

Before you go
Arriving ready
Pack swimwear
The outdoor pool sits among the dunes — the perfect way to cool off in the desert heat.
Unwind at the spa

A little cash
Handy for drinks, the boutique, tips and any extras you add on.
Pack a warm layer
Out by the dunes the nights get cold, especially in winter — bring a jacket even if the day was hot.
Look up at night
Far from the town lights, the desert sky over Erg Chebbi is extraordinary — worth stepping out for after dinner.

The dunes are on the doorstep — set an early alarm for first light over Erg Chebbi.
