Tiziri Luxury Camp, Merzouga

**The Coolest Place We Stayed – A Desert Dream Come True**

If you're looking for an experience that blends **luxury, authenticity, and heart**, this desert camp is it. From start to finish, it was truly magical—**unlike anything we've done before**.

The journey begins at a hotel staging area with a refreshing swimming pool—perfect for a quick dip if it’s too hot for the camels to head to camp. But once the sun dips just enough, you’ll mount your camel and begin the most **mesmerizing trek** through golden dunes. Halfway to the camp, we paused to watch the **sunset melt into the sand**, a moment of absolute stillness and beauty. From there, you can choose a 4x4 ride or keep going by camel—**we highly recommend the camel ride all the way**. It’s slow, rhythmic, and allows you to truly absorb the silence and majesty of the Sahara.

Upon arrival at the camp, we were met with **appetizers and warm smiles**—regardless of the time of arrival. The vibe was laid-back and welcoming, like stepping into a time warp of sorts. It reminded me of the **peaceful, love-filled spirit of the 1960s**—where time slows down, no one's in a rush, and the only schedule that matters is your own. That said, everything still ran smoothly—meals were served when everyone was ready, and **what meals they were!**

**Fatima**, the camp chef, deserves a standing ovation. Her dishes were **scrumptious, heartfelt, and clearly made with care**. Every bite felt like a celebration of Moroccan flavors.

The **watchmen of the camp** were equally remarkable—multi-talented, gracious, and always in motion. From carrying luggage to serving meals, sweeping sand from the rugs, and offering **joyful Berber music under the stars**, they created a seamless and unforgettable experience. Huge thanks and kudos to **Lahcen (Hossan), Ibrahim, Hamid, and of course, Fatima** the chef. There were others whose names we didn’t catch, but they were equally wonderful.

And don’t forget to **order a bottle of Moroccan wine** with dinner—it’s surprisingly good and the perfect accompaniment to a meal under the stars.

This wasn’t just a place to sleep—it was **a vibe, a feeling, a memory** we’ll always hold close. A peaceful, easy feeling that captures the true heart of Morocco.

We felt like we were part of a family from the minute they picked us up in the Toyota for the ride across the dunes to the camp. Eight big tents with comfortable beds and Berber rugs covering the floors decorated with local art. There was electricity and running water plus a separate bathroom area - it was everything we needed!
Meals were either outside around the fire (too windy when we were there) or in the main house with tables for everyone, followed by music. Sleeping was glorious with a breeze from the cool desert, night air thru the screened tent windows. Camel rides, a tour of the area including a stop at a Berber family and an iron mine. We looked for fossils and stopped to listen to local musicians. Beautiful sunsets over the dunes. Highly recommend staying with everyone at the Tiziri Camp

The food, staff, and tents were all incredible. From our sandstorm arrival to our second night bonfire, we truly enjoyed our time at the camp. The food was probably our best on the trip - shout out Fatima, who we got to meet before departure. The rooms were great and a respite from the heat, and a calming place to sleep amidst the desert wind. The music in the evenings was great, but made for some long days. I wouldn't change a thing and really enjoyed this experience!

A beautiful eco-friendly camp in the middle of the sand dunes!

Beautiful camp and beautiful experience getting to the camp. Food and accommodations were very good, but not exceptional.

They had one of the best meals we've had in Morocco. Amazing stay overall.

Clean, quite and truly comfortable

A perfect two nights in the desert! The size (just 8 tents) was great...the food was wonderful...and the service was exceptional.

From the Camel ride to our luxury camp to the incredible people, food, and sights! The Sahara Desert is an absolutely Magical place! Wish we would have stayed here longer! It is a must visit if you come to Morocco! Watching the sun set over the sand dunes, seeing a million twinkling Stars at night, and watching the sun rise the next morning is an experience my family and I will never forget!

This whole experience was spectacular and highly recommended. Our camp was beautiful and comfy and the meals were fantastic.
