Unbelievable Kasbah Views: Your Dream Merzouga Escape Awaits!
Unbelievable Kasbah Views: My Honest (& Messy!) Merzouga Escape Review
Okay, so you're eyeballing Unbelievable Kasbah Views, are you? Smart move. Merzouga is… well, it's Merzouga, a place that grabs your heart (and probably your sinuses with all that sand). I just got back, and honestly? I'm still sorting through the sand in my shoes and my brain. Here's the raw, unfiltered truth about my experience, complete with sand-dusted opinions:
First Impressions (and the Journey There…):
Accessibility: Uh, let's be honest, getting to Merzouga is not a walk in the park. It's a trek. I’m talking a good chunk of time spent in a car with minimal leg room. Considering it’s the middle of nowhere (gloriously so!), expecting easy accessibility is a bit… optimistic. I didn’t see any obvious wheelchair access to the dunes themselves, so bear that in mind if you have mobility issues. But, within the kasbah itself, the common areas seemed pretty straightforward, with an elevator to get you up and down. This review is gonna give you the real-deal on navigating the desert because this is a legit adventure.
Getting there is part of the experience, a true desert marathon.
The Vibe - Rooms, Amenities & That Damned Internet…
- Rooms: Okay, let’s get this straight: the views are the star of the show. My room? Beautiful, clean, well-appointed… but honestly, I spent most of my time glued to that balcony. My room had a private bathroom that was amazing. Yes, it has an additional toilet. The bathrobes? Don't get me started, they were life changing. The view through the window that opens was divine!
- Internet: (The Great Wi-Fi Saga) Look, the desert isn’t known for its blazing-fast internet. They advertise "Free Wi-Fi in all rooms!" and "Wi-Fi in public areas", which… sort of held true. Mostly, the Wi-Fi was doing its best, which often meant a lot of buffering. I'd suggest downloading your favourite movies. I mean, I did get a solid connection for a few minutes, just enough to send a photo.
- Things to Do: The clue is in the name. Unbelievable Kasbah Views. Seriously, just stare at the dunes. It’s therapeutic. But also, there's:
- Pool with a View (Outdoor Swimming Pool): This was bliss, especially after a hot day in the desert. I had no worries.
- Ways to Relax: Spa? Check! Fitness center? I can’t comment specifically on the fitness center because I, uh, haven't been. But did the body wraps help me relax? YES! Body scrubs? YES!
- The Spa/Sauna/Steamroom: This place is HEAVEN. The spa was a slice of a dream.
- The Terrace: Evening tea, starlit skies. Perfection.
- The Gym/fitness center: I’m going to be honest. I meant to use the fitness center. I packed my gym gear, the whole nine yards. But the dunes! The sunsets! Let's just say my abs got a workout from laughing and taking photos, than from the treadmill.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking – Fueling the Adventure:
Restaurants & Food: The food was excellent. Seriously, delicious. I loved:
- Breakfast [buffet]: A fantastic traditional breakfast. I could have spent the whole morning there munching on pancakes. The breakfast service was fantastic. The coffee service was good.
- International Cuisine in Restaurant: The menu was pretty varied, with something for everyone. Asian cuisine was available.
- Poolside bar: For that perfect sunset cocktail, the poolside bar is your best friend.
- Happy hour: Well, happy hour's essential, isn't it?
- Desserts in restaurant: The desserts… oh, the desserts. If you have a sweet tooth, you're in trouble in the best possible way.
- Room service [24-hour]: Because, let’s face it, sometimes you just want a snack in your PJs.
- Restaurants: There are several restaurants on site that serve great food!
Important Food Notes: They do a good job of catering to dietary requirements. Vegetarian restaurant and alternative meal arrangement available.
Cleanliness, Hygiene & Safety (because, you know, 2024):
- Anti-viral cleaning products? Check.
- Hand sanitizer everywhere? Double-check.
- Room sanitization between stays? Absolutely.
- Shared stationery removed? Pencils are out, apparently.
- Staff trained in safety protocol? They were definitely on point.
- I felt safe!
Services and Conveniences – They Really Thought of Everything:
- Daily housekeeping: My room seemed to magically clean itself!
- Concierge: So helpful. They sorted out my tours, my transfers… basically, my entire existence.
- Currency exchange: Super useful for when I ran out of Dirhams.
- Laundry service: Because sand gets everywhere.
- Luggage storage: Essential.
- Safe deposit boxes: Always a good idea.
For the Kids (and the Kid in You):
- Family/child friendly: The place seems set up to be great for families. I saw a lot of happy families in the pool.
Getting Around:
- Airport transfer: Book it. Trust me.
- Taxi service: Available, but arrange in advance.
- Car park [free of charge]: This is a definite bonus.
My One Totally Unforgettable Experience (And Yes, It's Messy):
Okay, I have to tell you about this. My "romantic" camel ride. I mean, I thought it would be romantic. You know, sunset, dunes, me, a camel… Wrong. Now, getting onto the camel was a whole ordeal. I’m not the nimblest person in the world, and let’s just say my dignity took a serious hit right off the bat. And then the camel, bless its heart, started farting. Like, audibly. And the smell! No one warned me about the camel's gas situation. This was the opposite of romantic. It became an exercise in damage control, trying to keep my composure AND my lunch down. My emotional reaction was to laugh my head off.
But here's the thing: that's the kind of experience that makes a trip memorable. It was ridiculous, hilarious, and utterly unforgettable. It perfectly encapsulated the wonderfully messy, unpredictable nature of Merzouga.
- The Truth: It wasn't perfect. The internet was dodgy, my camel was gassy, and I probably looked like I was having a mid-life crisis on a sand dune. But I loved it. It was a genuine adventure.
The Verdict:
Unbelievable Kasbah Views? Absolutely. It's not perfect, but its charm lies in its imperfections. It's a place where you can unwind, explore, and embrace the chaos of the desert.
So, should you book it? YES!

Bali's Paradise Found: Your Luxury Family Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your grandma's travel itinerary. We're going to Merzouga, Morocco, to the Kasbah Hotel Panorama, and trust me, it's going to be a messy, amazing, heart-stopping adventure. Here we go, with all the bumps and bruises of real life included…
Day 1: Arrival - Dusty and Disoriented Delight (and a near-disaster)
- 12:00 PM (ish) - Marrakech Airport – Holy Cow, It's Hot!
- Touchdown! After the longest, most cramped flight I've ever endured (why do they always dim the lights right when you need to read?!), we're finally in Morocco. Marrakech airport. The only airport! "It's like stepping into a sauna that smells faintly of cardamom and the unspoken promise of adventure," I tell myself, trying to be poetic, but mostly I'm just sweating buckets.
- Immediate Problem: Finding the driver arranged by the hotel. Cue frantic waving of passport-sized photos of me (who looked vaguely like the guy from the movie Taken), yelling in my best (terrible) French, and a near-meltdown involving my luggage and the promise of a "friendly" camel ride that turned out to be a scam. Note to self: learn to say "NO" in Arabic.
- 2:00 PM - The Long Drive (and the Bladder of Doom)
- The drive to Merzouga… oh boy. Imagine a landscape of endless dunes morphing into stark desert, punctuated by the occasional desolate village and the most optimistic camels you've ever seen. The car (thankfully with AC, praise the heavens) is a sweatbox, but the window to the outside is a portal to a different world.
- Anecdote Alert: We stop at a roadside cafe for a supposed "pit stop." Turns out "pit stop" means a squat toilet with a hole in the ground and a chorus of flies. I've never appreciated hand sanitizer so much.
- 7:00 PM (ish) - Kasbah Hotel Panorama… Finally!
- Arrive at the hotel, exhausted, dusty, and smelling faintly of camel. But oh. My. God. The Kasbah Panorama is breathtaking. It's straight out of a movie – terracotta walls, intricate carvings, a pool that looks impossibly blue against the desert. I immediately Instagram the heck out of it.
- Quirky Observation: The staff are impossibly polite and, despite my language limitations, manage to convey warmth and genuine interest. It's a stark contrast from the bustling chaos of the airport.
- Messy Moment: I try to unpack, but the excitement and exhaustion combine into a whirlwind of clothes, toiletries, and half-hearted attempts at organizing. My suitcase looks like a miniature tornado of travel essentials.
Day 2: Desert Dreams and Sandstorm Shocks
- 7:00 AM - Sunrise Over the Dunes (and the Coffee Crisis)
- Woken up with the alarm, even before it's due! I’ve never seen anything like it… the desert erupts in a riot of orange and pink. It's like the sky is on fire, but in a beautiful, serene way.
- Emotional Reaction: Tears prickle my eyes. It's overwhelming in the best possible way. I want to paint this view, write a book about it, or just… be in it.
- Imperfection: The coffee machine in my room is broken. Devastating. I stumble downstairs, still half-asleep, and beg for a strong, black coffee from the hotel staff. They kindly comply.
- 9:00 AM - Camel Trekking (The Mount of Doom)
- Camel ride! Okay, so maybe I wasn't born for this. My camel, who I affectionately nicknamed "Dromedary Dave", is a moody beast. Getting on is an ungainly act of awkwardness, and my legs threaten to turn to jelly.
- Doubling Down Experience! Let's be honest: camel riding is mostly uncomfortable. The swaying motion, the heat, the saddle digging into places you didn't know could be so sore – it's a workout for the core muscles you didn't know existed! We eventually reach the top of a dune, it isn't all bad. It's pure, vast, epic desert. I swear I could see the edge of the world!
- Anecdote: The Berber guide, a stoic man named Hassan, tells us about the dunes, the nomadic tribes, and the history of it all. Then, Dave almost throws me off. It was a near-disaster.
- 1:00 PM - Lunch at the Hotel
- Delicious tagine. The tagine is a rich, flavorful stew of lamb and vegetables (I think). I’d happily consume it every day if I could.
- 3:00 PM - Sandstorm! (Running for Cover)
- Strong Emotional Reaction: The wind picks up. The sky turns an ominous yellow. Then, BAM. Sandstorm. I've never experienced anything like it. I run for cover, my eyes and mouth fill with sand.
- Messy Moment: I stumble back to the hotel, looking like I've been attacked by a desert monster. My hair is a bird's nest, my clothes are gritty, and I have sand everywhere. But… it was exhilarating.
- 7:00 PM - Berber Music Under the Stars (and the Best Night Ever)
- After a shower that takes half an hour to rinse off all the sand, we're back, all refreshed this time. The hotel arranges a traditional Berber dinner, complete with music, drumming, stories, and dancing around a bonfire.
- Pure Magic: The music is hypnotic, the food is amazing (more tagine!), and the stars are so bright, they look like diamonds scattered across a velvet cloth. I dance. I sing along (badly). I laugh until my stomach aches. This is the best night of my life.
Day 3: Sunrise, Departure, and Deserted Reflections
- 6:00 AM - Sunrise… Round Two! (One Last View)
- For the last time, I drag myself out of bed to witness another sunrise over the sand dunes. No regrets, still incredible.
- 8:00 AM - Goodbyes (and a little shopping)
- I buy a beautiful rug at the hotel. Even if it doesn't fit in my suitcase.
- 9:00 AM - The Drive Back (Wishing I'd stayed longer)
- Another long drive, another chance to reflect on this crazy adventure. I’m sad to leave, but also buzzing with the memories.
- Opinionated Language: This trip was a life-changer. I’ve faced a sandstorm, ridden a camel, ate the best tagine of my life, and seen the most beautiful sunrises in the world. I am so grateful.
- 12:00 PM - Marrakech… Again (And the Dread of Reality)
- Back at the airport. It's an empty, sad, place now. The thought of going back to the real world, to my ordinary life, is a little bit painful.
- Reflection: I'm changed. I'm tougher. I’m a little bit more fearless. And I'm already planning my return. Merzouga, you were amazing.
- The End (For Now)
Okay, that's my messy, honest, and utterly human travel itinerary. It's not perfect, but it's real. And it's a testament to the fact that sometimes, the most imperfect adventures are the ones we remember the most. Now go, and have your own adventure! Just maybe bring a respirator for the sandstorms. You'll thank me later.

Unbelievable Kasbah Views: Your Dream Merzouga Escape - FAQ's (Because Let's Be Real, You Have Questions!)
Alright, picture this: you've seen the photos, the Instagram reels... the *seductive* promises of golden dunes at sunset. You're thinking, "Merzouga? YES PLEASE!" But hold up, before you start picturing yourself in a flowing caftan, let's get REAL for a sec. I actually *went* to this place, Unbelievable Kasbah Views, and lemme tell you, it's a trip. So, here's the lowdown on the burning questions, mixed with my own slightly chaotic, probably too-honest observations.
1. What's the Kasbah actually *like*? Is it as Insta-perfect as it seems?
Okay, this is the big one. The photos? Gorgeous. The reality? ... Well, let's just say things aren't always *filtered*. The Kasbah itself is a beautiful building, it's true. Think traditional Moroccan architecture, the kind you see in movies, with those intricate patterns and that beautiful desert light reflecting off the walls. They DO have those *views*. Seriously. From the rooftop terrace... oh man. You can stare for hours. I actually *did*. I swear my jaw almost hit the floor the first time I saw that desert panorama at sunrise. The problem? That rooftop is also where the breakfast buffet is. And sometimes the breakfast buffet gets raided by overly-enthusiastic tourists *before* you even get a chance at the good pastries.
Okay, the camel treks... now THAT is an experience. I mean, riding a camel is *weird*. You feel like you're tilting sideways all the time. The camel's all "blah blah blah, sand, sun, blah blah, *more* sand." But the MAGIC? Oh, the magic is REAL. It's something about being completely alone (well, mostly) in that vast expanse of sand, under a sky BURSTING with stars. It makes you feel so incredibly small and... and, I don't know, *connected* to something bigger. One thing I learned? Your camel *will* try to eat your backpack if you let it. And yes, bring sunscreen. And a scarf. You'll thank me later. Don't bother with the camel saddle - they've got them. Trust me on this.
Yes. It's *mostly* tagine and couscous. And, yeah, it's good! Actually, it's AMAZING. The best tagine I've ever had was at Unbelievable Kasbah Views, hands down. (And I've had a LOT of tagine). They do a good job with the local cuisine like the lamb tagine with prunes. But, if you're a picky eater, (ahem, like *some people* I know... namely, me), you might find yourself craving something different after a few days. I definitely missed a good burger and fries. Sometimes, all that exotic food just leaves you wondering where the ketchup is. But seriously? The food is worth it. Just embrace the tagine life. It's inevitable!
Okay, here's the messy truth: yes. There are always *some* hidden fees. Things add up. Tips, the *optional* excursions (that you *absolutely* need to do, by the way), drinks at the bar (which are NOT cheap), etc. They're not outrageous, but they're definitely things to factor in. Something I wasn't prepared for? The pressure to tip. It's just part of the culture, and they do work hard to make your stay feel nice. So plan to take some cash out at the ATM (which, by the way, might be a bit slow). Be ready for a little haggle, but most of the staff are really nice.
Ah, the million-dollar question! The best time is *probably* spring or autumn. The weather is PERFECT then. Not too hot, not too cold. The crowds? Well, even in the "off-season", there will be other tourists around. It's the desert, not a secluded paradise, don't get your hopes up too much. But there's magic in the air just the same. My advice? Embrace the chaos. Go, experience it, and try not to get too stressed about the number of other people taking selfies. You'll catch up and you will take a selfie, don't worry!
Sunscreen. And a scarf. And bug spray. And a camera that works in low light. Actually, let me tell you about my camera... I took my fancy digital camera with all the bells and whistles. And it broke. On the first day. So, I had a week of terrible iPhone photos. Seriously, don't be me. Make sure your camera works. And bring some basic comfort food along with you. I know this sounds terrible, but even a small bag of chips can save your sanity when you're tagine-ed out. Really.
Okay, the rooftop deserves its own category. It's *amazing*. But you know what the rooftop also has? Other tourists. Lots of other tourists. And sometimes they hog the best spots. I remember trying to get a good photo of the sunrise one morning, and there was *this guy*, with a huge camera lens, completely blocking the view. I was so tempted to push him (just kidding... mostly). It gets crowded, especially at sunset. But! The views are seriously worth the struggle. Just be prepared to maybe, possibly, elbow your way in for the best shot. I mean, it's either that or you'll be on the other side of the rail while everyone else soaks up the view.
Okay, let's be real: the Wi-Fi is spotty. VERY spotty. Don't expect to be streaming Netflix. Or even really uploading photos in real-time. It's the desert, people! Embrace the digital detox. Disconnect. Actually *look* at the dunes. They're more impressive than your Instagram feed, I promise. You'll find good signal near the bar, but anywhere else? *Meh*. Prepare to be offline, and enjoy it.
Overall, yes. It's quite safe. Merzouga in general, the area around the Kasbah, is a touristy zone. The staff at Unbelievable Kasbah Views are great. You should be fine. Just be aware of your surroundings, keep your valuables safe, and trust your gut. The main thing you need to worry about? The desert wind blowing sand into your everything. Seriously, that stuff gets everywhere. And it can be a bit challenging to walk around at night. Bring a flashlight.
Yes. Absolutely. Despite the less-than-perfect Wi-Fi, the sand in my shoes (still!), the slightly crowded rooftop, and one or two other slightly-overpriced things, I would go back in a heartbeat. The sunsets, the stargazing, the sense of adventure... it's magic. It's a truly amazing experience! So, pack your bags, take a deep breath, and get ready for an adventure. Just maybe bring an extra bag of chips, andStaynado
