M'Hamid · The Sahara

Hotel Sbai Palace

Name: Hotel Sbai Palace
Address: M'Hamid, MA

★★★★★

A five-star hotel in M'Hamid El Ghizlane, where the desert road ends and the silence begins.

M'Hamid El Ghizlane sits at the furthest reach of the southern route, a place where the landscape strips itself back to something elemental. Sbai Palace meets that setting with five-star calm — a place to arrive, exhale, and let the stillness of this remote corner of Morocco do what no busier destination can.

1991–2020 averages for the Sahara. Best = daytime 20–29 °C (68–84 °F) and fairly dry. Hot months still work if you plan around the heat — early starts, pools, the coast and the mountains.

Month by month, region by region: best time to visit Morocco.
