Dar Chamaa

Ouarzazate


On the southern fringe of Ouarzazate’s palm oasis, this stylish hotel offers Moroccan-minimalist guest rooms around a central courtyard photography gallery. Rooms are architect-designed to the last detail, from fossilised stone sinks to limestone niches serving as wardrobes. Ask for a room with balcony overlooking the pool in the palm-shaded garden.

You'll find it on the southern side of Oued Ouarzazate, signed left off the Zagora road; Dar Chamaa is about 3km along the piste (dirt track) on the left.
