Dar Ahlam, hotel review and article
Trufflepig Travel Experts writes, "Where: Dar Ahlam, Skoura, Morocco What: Rice balls drizzled with an Asian-inspired sauce. While this dish was indeed delicious, it's not exactly what we're here to talk about. Truly an oasis in the arid and pebbly southern part of the country, the one of a kind Dar Ahlam adds a measure of mystery to every meal. Be it breakfast, lunch, or dinner, you never know in advance where you'll be eating. And you never eat in the same place twice. They may prepare your breakfast table on a rooftop, lunch may be served in the orange grove (with your feet dangling in the cool water of the adjacent canal), and dinner may be in a hidden in a luxurious corner of the fantastic mud Kasbah. It's always private and always quietly theatrical. Charlie Scott has taken to eating his lunches on our rooftop, though the service seems to be lacking. If you like what you read, book (or eat) with us here, and while you're at it, follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest."....

Dar Ahlam, hotel review and article
Trufflepig Travel Experts writes, "First up – the magnificent retreat of Dar Ahlam on the south side of Morocco’s Atlas Mountains, near the town of Ouarzazate. As hard to find as it is to leave, Dar Ahlam takes the concept of the oasis in the desert and applies it to everything it does. Charlie has written about it in greater depth here, and it is simply one of our favourite places in the world. Dar Ahlam is also notable for the private desert campsites that they can set up. When it’s done properly, a desert"....

Dar Ahlam, hotel review and article
Trufflepig Travel Experts writes, "Dar Ahlam, hidden in a palm oasis in southern Morocco, is precisely such a place. Approaching it by road is one of those micro travel experiences that make the tummy uneasy. How can a road this dusty, bumpy and unmarked lead anywhere but in circles? Have I just bought the hotel equivalent of swampland in Texas? And then, just as you’re wondering if you’ll have a bed in your room (much less a room), you arrive. A rustic wooden door eases open, the doorman smiles warmly, and you e"....
