Serenity Sahara

Home / Accommodations

Where you stay

Places chosen one by one

Camps in the dunes, courtyard riads, kasbahs and mountain lodges. We pick each stay for its people and its sense of place, never because it fits a package.

How we choose

Small, personal and well located

We would rather book a house with eight rooms and an owner who cares than a large hotel with a long list of facilities. Every stay on a Serenity Sahara journey is chosen to suit you: your pace, your budget and who you are travelling with.

Below are the kinds of places we book most often. When we plan your journey we suggest specific houses and camps, with photos, so you can choose with confidence.

Earth-walled kasbahs above palm valleys, where the terrace at sunset is the main event.
