Welcome to Argana

A family guesthouse under the red cliffs

Maison d'Hôte Argana stands in a green garden next to the Dades river (oued), right below the red rock walls of the Dades Gorges. It is a quiet place to stop on the road between Ouarzazate and the Sahara – or to stay a few days and walk in the gorges.

The house has only six rooms, so every guest is looked after personally. Rooms are decorated with Berber motifs, lanterns and handmade rugs, most with a private terrace facing the gorge.
