Maison Acacias

Maison Acacias sits within Ksar Tissardmine, a historic fortified village on the edge of Merzouga's Erg Chebbi dunes — one of Morocco's tallest erg systems, with dunes reaching 150 metres. The property holds a 9.6 rating across 30 reviews, placing it among the highest-rated accommodations in the Rissani-Errachidia corridor.

Rooms include bathtubs, unusual in this desert region where most riads offer showers only. An outdoor fireplace and sun deck make the property functional across seasons — Merzouga nights drop below 5°C in winter despite daytime heat. The on-site restaurant, room service, and shuttle to Errachidia airport remove logistical friction for travelers arriving without transport.

Bicycle rental here is a practical non-obvious asset: the piste between Tissardmine and Merzouga village runs flat enough for cycling, bypassing the tourist congestion of the main dune access points further north.
