In-Depth Information
( 0528 89 53 26; casamarhotel@gmail.com; s/d without bathroom from Dh100/120, with bathroom
Dh180/250; )
Just outside the port entrance, Casa Mar's cafe-restaurant (breakfast/mains
Dh25/70) serves a good selection of seafood dishes, ranging from mixed grilled fish to
calamari tajine. The cafe, a popular meeting point, is a good place to check your emails
and watch local characters stroll in. Rooms in the hotel's old section are terrible, but a
new extension was being built when we visited, with spacious en-suite rooms and port
views.
Hotel Aoudate
( 0528 89 58 68; per person incl breakfast from Dh250; )
The builders were finishing this
hotel when we visited, and it promised to be Tarfaya's most comfortable. Available with
or without balcony and private bathroom, the 35 rooms have attractive checkered bedding
and satellite TV, with sea views from the upper floors. A Spanish restaurant was set to join
the ground-floor cafe.

Getting There & Away
Bus companies, including CTM, stop in Tarfaya, but
Supratours
( 0528 89 52 84; Rte du
Port)
has the only reliable office. It has the best buses and so is the best option anyway,
given the brutal journey times in the Sahara. Daily Supratours departures head for the fol-
lowing places:
