The auberge SAHARA is built by the BOURCHOK brothers some meters away from the sand dunes of 'ERG CHEBBI' in the oasis made famous by many international films such as 'sahara secrets', 'Marrakech express', 'operation condor', 'lion of the desert'. In this oasis, the highest palm trees of the region and the lovely sand dunes give an exceptionaly beautiful view, especially from the terrace of the auberge. Here you can watch the sun rise/sun set and sleep under the open sky full of stars.

The oral local legend tells that the construction of the biggest erg of Morocco 'Erg Chebbi' was god punishment for some rich families who refused to give shelter to a poor woman and her son during a local festival. They were buried in the sand of storms that formed big dunes that measure about 160 m high.

Sand is good for patients with rheumatics, they bury themselves in the hot sand in summer for some minutes.
