Kasbah Hotel Xaluca Arfoud

Erfoud


This 144-room resort-style hotel is all kasbah bling – outsized fossils, carved wooden doors – and rooms decorated in rich, colourful textiles. Adult desert travellers appreciate the bar and spa, while kids head straight for the pool and mini-golf course. It’s 5km north of Erfoud on the N13.
