Draa Valley
Located across the Draa River in the shade of the palm grove is the Laghrissi brothers' budget-friendly camp. It provides simple accommodation, mixing traditional goat-hair Berber tents and modest pisé (rammed-earth) rooms with mattress beds on flat-weave carpets. Showers and toilets are basic, with the latter being of the squat variety. Experienced guides, they offer well-priced excursions.
Turn left at the mosque as you enter M'Hamid, and you'll find it just past Hamada du Draa.
