Company info

Salwa guesthouse is managed by a local Berber family. Our family consists of Mohamed (Father/guest house owner), Tuda (Mother/teacher), and Salwa and Aya (daughters). I (Mohamed) born and raised here in the local village, so I know Ait Ben Haddou and its surroundings very well. We will be happy to share our homemade organic food with local products and share stories and good times together.

Property info

Dar Salwa is a family-owned guest house run in a traditional Berber style. We are located in the ancient village of Tggrt, 10km north of the world-famous Ait Ben Haddou. We provide a tranquil getaway from modern life, complimented by a beautiful pool side with stunning views of the High Atlas mountains. Our family live in the same complex, so you can feel truly immersed into our Berber culture. We cook homemade organic traditional Berber food from local products, often sharing meals with our guests. It's a amazing place for staying away from hustle and bustle in the city and calm your mind in nature. We can also help organize excursions into the Sahara Desert, with options ranging from Camel trekking to an ATV tour. We also offer lessons in how to cook traditional Morrocan and Berber food, hopefully giving our guests new lifeskills and broader paletes. Thank you for reaching us, and we are looking forward to meeting you!

Neighborhood info

The most famous attraction is "Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou". The ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. Ait-Ben-Haddou, in Ouarzazate province, is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco. Also there are couple of Ksar along the valley. You can visit mountains and valley around us. Also it's interesting to observe how local Berber people live in here. We can organize desert trip with Camel trekking and ATV tour also if you like.
