Riad Hiba

Riad Hiba is a small riad-style guesthouse in Foum Zguid with a calm, garden-set vibe that suits desert-road stopovers and slow evenings.

Garden setting and views: The property sits in the palm grove area of Foum Zguid, with a wooded garden and open views toward the Djbel Bani landscape. It feels removed from traffic, which helps the stay feel restful after long drives.

Pool for cooling off: There’s an outdoor swimming pool that can be a real plus in hot weather, especially between excursions. Several guests mention enjoying the poolside outlook from their rooms.

Comfort basics in the rooms: Room types include single, double, triple, and quadruple options, each with a private bathroom. Air-conditioning is repeatedly mentioned as a key comfort feature for sleeping well in this region.

Food and hosting: On-site dining is a highlight, with plentiful breakfasts and hearty Moroccan-style dinners that guests often describe as a reason to stay an extra night. The hosts are frequently noted as friendly and helpful, adding a personal, family-run feel.

Great base for desert plans: Riad Hiba organizes desert-oriented activities, including trips toward Erg Chigaga and an overnight camp experience. For many travelers, that makes Foum Zguid feel like a practical gateway rather than just a pass-through town.

Pool upkeep can vary: The pool may not always be perfectly clean, particularly early in the season, which could affect how appealing it feels on arrival.

Occasional maintenance quirks: Some rooms may have minor issues (like a shower needing attention) that are typical trade-offs in smaller, remote-area properties.
