The open gallery is dedicated to the Souss River, which gave its name to the region and whose bed, usually dry, is 3 kilometers north of the Garden of Stars. The gallery measures 20 meters by three meters and is the gateway to the riad. It is an extraordinary pleasant place to stick both day - to find the freshness - that night as a shelter overlooking the illuminated pool.



 

The walls are recovered with gross tadelakt, clearer at the ceiling than on the walls. The lamps are in fact terracota lanterns from Sidi Bibi (south of Agadir). They have been turned in a way very inventively. The gallery comes into its own at night when the five lanterns at the ceiling and the seven lights at the walls are lighted.

 

The floor is covered with terracotta of Tamaloukt, village of the Atlas near Taroudant.The sofa, the armchairs and the coffee table are made with dum of the Atlas. The dum is a small palm tree which the shepherds use the stems to turn them into a kind of cord, guarantee of solidity. This expression of tradition adopts simple lines, so contemporary.

 

The blue and gray reversible cushions, made artisanally by weavers of Agadir, increase your comfort. At night, the cushions are stored in the Atlas Lounge, so as to be protected from birds, so many in the Garden of Stars. They thus complement a beautiful harmony with the cushions of the eight metal chairs.
