Hotel Review

“Mouhou Desert Camp pairs desert atmosphere with the comforts guests actually notice.” The setting in Erg Chebbi gives this Merzouga hotel a clear sense of place: open views, an outdoor fireplace, and a terrace that turns the landscape into part of the stay. The overall tone is more refined camp than rough-edged desert stop, and the 5-star positioning is backed by practical touches like free WiFi, private parking, and room service.

Room choice is straightforward: Deluxe Double Room, Deluxe Triple Room, and Luxury Quadruple Room. That makes the property easy to match to couples, small groups, or families. Guest feedback is strong across the board, with praise for clean, cozy tents and well-equipped bathrooms; one family review highlighted a luxury tent with shower and toilet, while another guest noted the rooms were ready on arrival and in good condition. A fair caveat from a solo traveler: desert wear can show, and one review mentioned a noticeable drain smell and some cold nights, though blankets were plentiful.

Food is a real part of the appeal here. Breakfast is included, and the hotel also serves a buffet breakfast each morning. On site, Restaurant #1 offers African cuisine with halal, vegetarian, and vegan options, which is useful in a place where dinner can otherwise be limited. Guests repeatedly mention the food as a highlight, along with service delivered warmly and without fuss.

Facilities are practical rather than flashy. Mouhou Desert Camp offers free toiletries, showers, free WiFi, private parking, bicycle rental, car hire, room service, and a paid shuttle. The outdoor fireplace and family-friendly setup add to the appeal for travelers who want atmosphere without giving up convenience. Reviews also point to attentive hosts and staff who stay engaged throughout the visit.

At 3.7 km from the center of Merzouga and about 136 km from Moulay Ali Cherif Airport, the camp suits travelers who want a desert base rather than a town-center hotel. It is a strong fit for couples, families, and anyone booking a Merzouga hotel for camel rides, stargazing, and a short, comfortable stay close to the dunes.
