place a starting point for hiking to the nearby sites. The riad is
beautifully decorated and offers an extraordinarily calm and serene

vegetables. Facilities available to guests at the 8-room riad
include 24-hour reception and check-out services, a hotel safe,

Directions, How to get
there
The hotel is 90 km south west of Ouarzazate and its airport.
Situated between two mountain ranges (the Central High Atlas and
M'Goun Djebel Saghro), the kasbah is located in the heart of the
Valley of Roses, 4 km from the Capital of Roses (Kelaa M'Gouna).
Arriving at the kasbah sign, follow the trail accessible to cars
for 800 metres to arrive in the village of Ait Khiyar, which is
situated at an altitude of 1500 m, far away from the noise of the
city.
