Comfortable tents, good food, attentive staff. We were the only 2 people staying in a camp that sleeps ~30 so that was cool :)

Overview

Merzouga Dunes Camps is a retreat in the beautiful Sahara Desert, echoing the traditional nomadic culture of the region. The camp provides 4-star and 5-star accommodation options in an unexpected oasis amid the vast desert expanse. The ever-changing dunes around the camp create a magical atmosphere reminiscent of a 12th-century tribal kingdom movie, especially during the golden sunrise.

The tents at Merzouga Dunes Camps are divided into two areas: the Main Camp (4-star experience) and the Royal Camp (luxury, 5-star experience). All are equipped with electricity, hot water, and WiFi, though the Royal Camp tents add heating and air-conditioning, ensuring a comfortable climate even in the remote desert setting. Inside, you'll find comfortable beds and furnishings. Again, the Royal Camp option elevates your experience with even more furniture and space.

At Merzouga Dunes Camps, you'll also have the opportunity to enjoy various amenities and activities. Every day starts with a cup of tea or coffee at sunrise, followed by a hearty breakfast. Dinners, accompanied by a drum party, promise to be memorable experiences. Sandboarding is another great activity offered, letting you make the most of the surrounding dunes. A camel tour is also included in your stay, providing an authentic desert experience.

we were the only people out of 14 tents available--which seems like it should be nice, but was a little lonely.

BUT, I would ask your company to make sure there will be others there--and if not maybe look at other tent options (e.g. the non-luxury group next door--same company--had about 30 tents and at least half were full that night. would have been better (and louder) atmosphere).

Disappointing....

Authenticity & Character
Better general management of the accommodation as well as the food.
Location
We were very disappointed with the quad bikes and vehicles that drove at speed close to the camp and close to the camels while trekking in and out of camp.
Staff
A bit chaotic! We were so relieved when our tour manager, Sallam, arrived to check if we were ok.
Cleanliness & Comfort
The pipe to the basin tap was leaking badly and there was water all over the floor
