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.
