About Bab El Oued

In the heart of the Draa Valley, hidden inside the palm grove of Tamnougalt near Agdz, Bab El Oued is more than a place to sleep. It is an oasis created for travelers who want to slow down, breathe, and feel the soul of southern Morocco.

A hidden oasis in the Draa Valley

Surrounded by palms, gardens, earth architecture, mountain views, and the timeless presence of Tamnougalt's kasbah landscapes, the ecolodge offers a peaceful escape on the road between Ouarzazate and Zagora. Here, the desert is close, but the atmosphere is soft, green, and full of life.

Bab El Oued was born from a simple but powerful idea: to create a place where hospitality, nature, local culture, and ecological responsibility live together. The domain was shaped with patience, passion, and respect for the oasis environment. What was once a quiet piece of land has become a lush garden filled with palms, fruit trees, flowers, aromatic plants, birds, animals, and shaded corners made for rest.

The lodges are independent, intimate, and inspired by the traditional architecture of southern Morocco. Built with natural materials and local craftsmanship, they combine the charm of earth walls, warm textures, handcrafted details, and modern comfort. Life at Bab El Oued follows the rhythm of the oasis — mornings with birdsong and sunlight through the palms, days by the pool or in the garden, and evenings with the scent of home-cooked meals and the deep silence of the south.
