Gite Tarist

Our granddaughter loved this place. The wonderful brothers who own the guesthouse, Sliman and Omar, looked after us like family, almost every day the granddaughter was allowed to ride a horse, there were wonderful dinners and evenings with music, whenever we needed to go downtown, we used a very cheap taxi with wonderful drivers. Our family is clear, we would like to spend our next vacation here again, it is simply paradise. Jana, Miloš a Edita

We visited Ghardia this January 2025 and stayed at the Gite Tarist. The site and the services provided by the owner Slimane and his family surpassed our expectations, the rooms were clean and confortable, the quality of the food was excellent. Excellent value for the money. Highly recommended.

It was perfect from the begining. Very friendly owners. Always at disposal, ready to help, offered to pick some dinner for us from town and offered to lift us to the city center as well. The place is amazing, we spend so much time chilling in the swimming pool terrace. At the end, Slimane even drove us to the Gare du Bus!! Without a doubt, the place to be if you visit Ghardaia! PS: best tea in Algeria

One of the best places to live while on our one-month extensive car tour through Algeria! As a family of four (2 adults, 2 kids, 8 and 12 years old), Gite Tarist proved to be the most comfortable choice for all of us. Kids appreciated a lot the pool, Omar's food, and the natural environment with plants and animals, while we valued the tranquility of all the experience and also our host's delicate attention to all our different needs. M'zab Valley is an extraordinary place and our hosts helped us understand it better. We can't wait to get back to the Algerian desert! Thank you, Slimane and Omar!

I had a truly incredible experience visiting the Ghardaia area, and a large part of what made it special is the warm welcome I received at Gite Tarist guesthouse. When I booked my room I was in touch with Slimane, one of the owners, and ahead of my arrival, he was kind enough to arrange everything for me – airport transfer, driver, tour guides, translators, etc – for the days of my stay. He and his brother Omar were so kind and welcoming and ensured I wanted for nothing. The guesthouse itself is wonderful, decorated in a traditional style with very unique and comfortable ensuite rooms. The location is a bit away from the road so it is very quiet and peaceful at night. The meals were delicious. There is also a gorgeous pool out back which is kept cool even in summer – this was great as it was very hot when I visited! All in all, it was a perfect place to spend a few days, and honestly I was sad to leave. I would highly recommend visiting the M’Zab Valley region. This is a fascinating and welcoming part of the world, and if you stay at Gite Tarist, you will feel right at home.

I went there with my mum and we happened to meet a group of Spanish tourists, it was truly memorable. Gite Tarist is an authentic, spacious and welcoming space; the ensuite room was big yet cosy. Bathroom had all amenities. There's even a pool that you can use anytime. The food they served was excellent; they cooked fresh and traditional meals with camel meat for the meat eaters. They made vegetarian versions for me which was so nice of them. Slimane and his brother went the extra mile to make the best of our trip: visit of the old towns, visit of the soul, trip on the dunes and tea on the spot with sunset lights. I would recommend Gite le Tarist whether you are alone, as a couple or with a large group, you will enjoy every moment with the best trips, guides and nice people.
