El Menzeh Foundation

Below the Rissani ramparts, opposite Ksar Oulad Abdelhalim, El Menzeh Foundation occupies a mudbrick guesthouse fifteen minutes south of Erfoud along the road tracing the old caravan route toward Merzouga's dunes. It suits travelers breaking the desert drive rather than those seeking central Erfoud's shops.

Rooms keep thick pisé walls and small windows against the daytime heat, cooling naturally after sunset. The rooftop terrace faces the ksar's earthen towers, floodlit after dark.

Staff arrange camel treks and guided visits to Rissani's Sunday souk, one of the region's oldest trading markets.
