Le Chant du Chameau

Southern Morocco & Western Sahara


Le Chant du Chameau is a delightful French-Moroccan guesthouse at the south end of Aglou beach. Apart from a rust-red house, some fantasy tents, and a dramatic view of the beach and sea, it also offers excursions in the area and a week-long course in tadelakt (Moroccan plaster works).
