Hôtel Dakyanus

Southern Tunisia


From the front, the attractive low-slung facade of this hotel looks like a traditional ghorfa (a long, barrel-vaulted room built to store grain) and blends into the desert environment. It has modern rooms and facilities, and there are panoramic views from parts of the property, including 2nd-floor room balconies. It's 6km from Tataouine and has two restaurants, a pool and a tennis court.
