Merzouga Camp

Merzouga

The others who stayed camp with me was very noisy over midnight.I wanted to spend my time in silence seeing stars, but couldn’t.

If you are looking for a wonderful experience in the Merzouga Desert on the Erg Chebbi Dunes, do not look any further. This is the best one with the best people. Mohammed and his team stood apart with their hospitality and service. My friends were picked up from our Riad in Marrakech and after a comfortable ride with Hmad,  met Mohamed at the hotel Dar Merhaba in the desert, where we were offered tea and snacks. After that, we were driven to the camels and rode the camels during sunset towards our camp. The picturesque Sahara and the Erg Chebbi Dunes are being description. Hassan and Ali allowed us to try our hand at sand surfing. After which, we proceeded toward the camp. We were welcomed by Mohammed and his team, had the most delicious dinner. There was a camp fire and we were introduced some amazing Berber music. We had private tents with private bath. Mohammed offered to pull out mattresses out and sleep under the stars which was an amazing experience. Next morning, after watching the sunrise, we were served a delicious breakfast and left Merzouga with a lifetime of memories of amazing views, awesome experiences and the most hospitable company. I highly recommend this camp for safety, quality of service and the best people you can ever meet. Look no further!!!  

The BEST Ever!!!!!

Mohammed was so kind with us in all the moments, we got a delicious couscous with his cute family, he has a really big house with many rooms, kitchen and nice bathrooms, there is also internet and there is a kitchen with everything to cook, it's a pleasure to meet you, thanks !

A Berber palace

An excellent trip with breathtaking desert beauty and exotic sightseeing, the tent is clean, spacious and very comfortable, the guides are very nice and have multi-language skills, people whom I met are very friendly, highly recommended.

A very nice camping experence

Muhammed is always There and ready for your help. It’s a good place to organise your desert  experience with Muhammed. Rooms are basic but clean, breakfast was delicately prepared. You can have a good view of stars from terrace.

Helpful Manavgat/Good Place

If you like to experiance real desert, get nice time and nice local people, go to Merzouga camp.
There is one nice man Mohamed, who is owner of camp and he really likes to do all for hi guests. You get much more then you pay  and there are things, which you cant pay  simply.
His house in Merzouga is nice, clean and warm place and camp is amazing.
Soetimes you gete even crepes in desert for breakfast!!!
You will not do any mistake to go to desert with him.

Dream time in Merzouga

My husband and I did the overnight trip from Marrakech.  It was wonderful!  Hasan was professional, polite and very easy to work with....our driver Hasan promptly picked us up at 7am and drove us to the camp....a long drive but along the way we made short stops for food and rest. It was so much fun to see so much of Morocco and the people this way.  The camel ride was awesome!  And the camp site was very nice and the food and overnight accommodations we were good....but there is a lot of sand, even on the bedsheets! Overall totally worth it!  Also, Hasan worked with us after we returned and Hasan the driver took us a wonderful day trip to Essaouira!

Thanks for the memories!!

Very good service and the price are included camel ride in and out the camp, snacks, dinner, fruit, drink water, party and before & after camp bathing, really fantastic.  Highly recommend to book this.

First off, I accidentally booked the wrong dates and we almost didn’t get camels (or dromedaries to be accurate) as a result. Mohammed, the camp owner, went above and beyond to accommodate us and find us camels so we can go see the sunset.

Second, we were in Morocco for two weeks and some of our favorite memories were made at this camp. The staff is amazing— special shout-out to Mohammed, the camp manager and tagine cook. We loved you Mohammed! We were one of the few who stayed at the desert camp for two days (most stay for 1 night) and one morning, I was enjoying the desert after breakfast and Mohammed came over to make sure I was ok. To my surprise, he sat down beside me and we talked for an hour about everything— his family, the Amazigh tribe, Morocco, everything! I learned so much from him and felt like I made a friend. Thank you so much Mohammed for giving me insight to your life and ways. It meant a lot. 

In terms of the camp, due to new government laws, they had to move the camp closer to the village instead of in the middle of dunes to preserve the desert. The only source of running water is the sink where you can brush your teeth and wash your face. You have to wait to go back to the base camp for a shower and you have to wander off into the desert for the toilet which is an experience in itself! Accommodations weren’t fancy but clean and comfortable. At night, the staff puts on a touristy drum performance after dinner. 

If you’re wondering about whether to stay for 1 night or 2, here are pros and cons. 

You don’t really get the desert experience if you stay for 1 night. All you do is set off on camels to go see the sunset in the late afternoon, go to the camp to rest for the night, then wake up next morning to see the sunrise via camels before heading back to the base camp. 

For 2 nights, you actually get to spend a day traveling across the desert to an oasis via camels and really getting that desert feel. Once you arrive at the oasis, you spend 5 hours lounging around under the shade doing... nothing really but play with sand and enjoy being in the middle of the desert. I didn’t mind it because it’s the desert, what does one expect? 

Note: when I heard we’re going to an oasis, I was picturing a typical pond in the middle of the desert. While this does exist, the more common type of oasis is an area where there’s a lot of water underground rather than above ground. I didn’t know this so I was a bit shocked when I saw the oasis. 

Overall, amazing experience!

Amazing Time!

I already wrote the same review for Airbnb but was so happy with our time that I am putting one here too...We did not actually stay at the desert camp as the government has shut down many of the desert camps after our booking, however our time with Mohammad was wonderful! He communicated this change with us prior to our trip and instead offered to take us on a desert excursion during the day. 

We actually are happier with this now as we spent hours in the desert exploring and were able to come back in the evening to sleep and wash up in the guesthouse. Mohammad is wonderfully kind and did so much for us (including meeting us on the middle of the night) and we will miss him!
