Dar Tafouyte is located in Takoujte village, aside Erg Chebbi dunes, just 1km away from Merzouga, the most well known
Moroccan village in the Sahara region.

Takoujte is a small village built up by nomad families long time ago. The word itself means “little hill” and tells the legend that an old lady once lived here and was much appreciated by her generosity helping all Berbers in the region. Dar Tafouyte means “House of the Sun”.
