Magnificent, traditional kasbah nestling in a picturesque grove of palm trees on the edge of the Moroccan Desert

DAR AHLAM, OURZAZATE

DRAMATIC COUNTRYSIDE & RUGGED MOUNTAIN LANDSCAPES

Dar Ahlam means the House of Dreams. It’s an apt name for a traditional kasbah standing on the edge of the Moroccan Desert, surrounded by an oasis of palms.

If you embark on the 1000 km ‘Memory Road’ journey from Marrakech to Dar Ahlam you will find the experience becoming increasingly more dream-like. You’ll travel from the coast of the Atlantic Ocean to the enigmatic Sahara Desert. And along the way you’ll stop off at five oases to stay in age-old maisons. You’ll experience dramatic countryside and rugged mountain landscapes. And then you will arrive at Dar Ahlam.

Surely a high point on your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Morocco, Dar Ahlam was created from the dreams of one man, Thierry Teyssier. It stands on the edge of a desert in the Skoura palm grove near the historic town of Ourzazate and is a perfect picture of a traditional sandy pink kasbah, with sturdy square towers and decorated windows.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91��.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“WONDERFUL TREK IN NEPAL AND VISIT TO TIGER RESERVE”

From our very first phone call, 91�� provided excellent service. We shared our ideas and they came back with a proposal that included everything we wanted – then improved it with thoughtful suggestions. We were especially impressed that our tailor-made holiday was competitively priced. Once on the ground, everything ran smoothly. We were met at each airport, stayed in fantastic hotels, and had a brilliant guide for our trek. A truly enjoyable and well-managed trip from start to finish.
