Tiziri Luxury Camp, Merzouga

Very c

The desert camp experience was incredible and unique. The accommodations were very comfortable for the setting, and the food and evening entertainment were excellent. The camp fosters a real sense of community and we met some incredible travelers who we really enjoyed getting to know. The staff here were also incredibly friendly and fun. Just be sure to get clear guidance and information before you embark on their desert tour, if that's part of your stay.

Our biggest regret is that we were only there for one night having arrived in the late afternoon and then headed out the next morning. During our short time there, the staff were simply amazing. They took care of getting us across the desert to the camp, created a delicious meal for dinner, provided musical evening entertainment, and then were up again the next day preparing breakfast and getting us ready to head out. The camp itself was beautful and well appointed, with comfortable bedrooms, but I think it was the staff that made it all the more special.

This was the most special place we have ever stayed. Truthfully just breathtaking experience

The crew of guys that run this camp are all so friendly and awesome! It's truly a luxury experience in the middle of the Sahara. The food was delicious, the live music was impressive, and we had a wonderful time here. It's a trek to get to the area but it's truly a one in a lifetime opportunity. The crew here helped me with a surprise engagement opportunity - so we will always cherish our time here.

Wonderful experience!

The camel ride was well done. Our camel, Abdul, was very caring and competent helping us to enjoy the moment.

The entire environmentally friendly concept of the camp was immensely appealing to us and we were quite appreciative.
Everything was good from the lodging, to the staff, to the food, and the entertainment around the campfire.
The only problem was that while the shower was great , the drain seemed to have been blocked as the water didn’t flow out even overnight.
Apart from that one issue, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay there.

This camp is definitely GLAMPING! Very clean and cozy with Moroccan rugs covering the floors, our own personal shower and bathroom...and a wonderful king-size bed. The food was more than I could have thought possible in the middle of the desert...and the service was great.

What a fun experience and so different from staying at a hotel or riad. These are well-adorned tents, complete with private sinks, showers and toilets. The decor is darling and in-line with what the local nomadic Amazigh people would use. There is a heater for the winter months and a fan for the summer months. All electricity (including water pumps) are solar powered, so expect to use as little electricity as possible (iPad, phone, laptop to your heart's content, but no hair dryers allowed as it will blow the entire system). It also should be noted that there is no A/C. We stayed 2 nights towards the end of May and it was getting hot. Generally speaking, you're out seeing other things, away from camp, during the day when temperatures peak, so the heat wasn't a problem for us, but one may just want to be aware to set expectations. We definitely made use of open windows and the fan during the evening and slept like babies.

The staff here was eager to please and very proud of their service level. They are also very excited to play traditional Amazigh music for everyone at night for entertainment. We tried sandboarding (with success!!) a couple of times using the board they offered on site. We enjoyed breakfast and dinners during our stay and did not walk away hungry. Star gazing for days (nor nights I guess I should say) We would definitely stay here on our next trip to Mergouza.

**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
