About Bab El Oued
An oasis shaped with patience, in the heart of the Draa Valley.
Hidden in the palm grove of Tamnougalt, Bab El Oued was created for travelers who want to slow down, breathe, and feel the soul of southern Morocco.
Why we are here
More than a place to sleep. A doorway into the oasis.
Between Ouarzazate and Zagora, the desert is close, yet the atmosphere here is soft, green, and full of life.
Surrounded by palms, gardens, earth architecture, and Tamnougalt’s kasbah landscapes, the ecolodge offers another way to experience Morocco: with more time, greater simplicity, and a closer connection to nature.
A living story
From quiet land to a garden full of life.
Bab El Oued grew from a simple but powerful idea: to bring hospitality, nature, local culture, and genuine ecological responsibility together in one place. The domain was shaped with patience, passion, and respect for the oasis’s fragile environment.
Over time, this peaceful land became a generous garden of palms, fruit trees, flowers, aromatic plants, birds, and animals. Shaded paths and quiet corners allow every guest to find their own rhythm.
The spirit of the house
Hospitality, nature, and local know-how.
Sleep inside the oasis
Independent lodges and suites sit among palms, flowers, and garden paths, preserving calm, privacy, and space.
Built with soul
Earth walls, natural materials, warm textures, and handcrafted details continue southern building traditions while providing modern comfort.
Taste the garden
The table celebrates generous Moroccan and Mediterranean flavors, prepared with care and fresh seasonal ingredients whenever possible.
The rhythm of the oasis
Days guided by light, the garden, and silence.
Mornings begin with birdsong and sunlight through the palms. Days unfold by the pool, in the garden, or exploring Tamnougalt. Evening arrives with the scent of a home-cooked meal and the deep silence of the south.
