Hotels in Draa-Tafilalet , Morocco

Draa-Tafilalet stretches across southeastern Morocco, famous for its ancient kasbahs and the lush Draa Valley-a palm-fringed oasis cutting through the Sahara. The climate is a scorching desert with summer highs above 100°F (38°C) and mild winters around 60°F (15°C). Visit between March and May for camel treks through the dunes to the fortified mud-brick city of Aït Benhaddou, or enjoy October's cooler evenings exploring the Tafilalet region's labyrinthine ksour and the Moulay Ali Cherif mausoleum. In winter, you can hike the volcanic Jbel Saghro without the heat, while summer is best for sleeping under the stars in Erg Chebbi's massive sand seas.
