Auberge La Source

Built from rammed earth in Hassi Labied village, Auberge La Source sits at the edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes, a ten-minute walk from where camel treks depart each evening for overnight desert camps. Merzouga's small trading center lies fifteen minutes south by road.

Rooms keep thick mud-brick walls that hold overnight cool through summer; the rooftop terrace faces the dune line directly, favored for sunrise over sand rather than town views.

A fixed base for travelers overnighting before or after Sahara camps, rather than a long-stay resort.
