Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Despite its regional importance, Er-Rachidia has a limited number of decent hotels, so you
may want to push on towards camping options at Meski and along the road south to
Aufous.

Hôtel Errachidia
( 0535 57 04 53; 31 Rue Ibn Battuta; s/d/tr incl breakfast Dh250/320/410; )
Don't be fooled by
the setting behind the bus station (handy for early or late arrivals): inside are 26 comfort-

Rte de Goulmima, Er-Rachidia; s/d incl breakfast Dh700/900;
)
Er-Rachidia's best business-class hotel has 30 sprawling guest suites with
marble bath tubs, a huge pool, a spa and conference facilities. It's rather expensive for
what it is, especially the Dh100 breakfast. You'll find it on your right along the N10 as
you drive into town from Goulmima.
