Akham guesthouse, photo 1

Akham is a traditional guesthouse in Ghardaïa, in the heart of the M'Zab Valley. You stay in a Mozabite-style house, with home cooking based on local recipes: a way to discover the M'Zab from the inside.

Staying in the M'Zab Valley

The M'Zab Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is made up of five ksour founded nearly a thousand years ago: Ghardaïa, Beni Isguen, Melika, Bou Noura and El Atteuf. Staying in a traditional house lets you live at the valley's pace, between ksour, palm groves and markets.

Meals and visits

Meals are cooked on site, with traditional Mozabite dishes. The house can help you arrange visits to the ksour and the palm grove; in Beni Isguen, visits are made with a local guide.

When to go

From October to April the days are mild; summer is very hot. Winter and spring holidays are in high demand and a guesthouse has few rooms: book ahead.
