Atop Amezray the impressive rock-hewn dar (small house) of mountain guide Youssef Oulcadi rises organically out of the tough mountain landscape, its terraces built around Aleppo pines and landscaped with blushing roses and oleanders. Inside, rooms are beautifully finished with terracotta floors, zellige (colourful geometric mosaic tiles) bathrooms and raffia-framed beds. Campsites (per person Dh50) also available.
The large, cosy dining room and vast terrace overlooks Amezray's rammed-earth granary (restored by the Atlas Cultural Foundation), as do the camping facilities, which are provided with their own shared shower unit, a small hammam and washing facilities.
