Hotel Review

Overnight Desert Camp is a Merzouga hotel that leans into the desert setting without losing the basics guests care about. The atmosphere is shaped by the dunes, with outdoor seating, terraces, and tents that open to mountain or city views, while the 24-hour front desk and full-day security keep the experience practical as well as atmospheric.

The accommodation is tented rather than conventional, and that is the point here. Guests describe the tents as clean and comfortable, and the private bathrooms make a real difference at this price level. With several tent options listed, the camp can suit solo travellers, couples, and anyone who wants a simple overnight base with a stronger sense of place than a standard room.

Breakfast is included, and the hotel serves a halal spread with fresh pastries, fruit, and juice. The supplied evidence also confirms room service and a shared kitchen, but not a full restaurant, so expectations should stay focused on a straightforward desert-camp dining setup rather than a broad food offering.

Service is a clear strength in the reviews. Guests repeatedly mention warm, welcoming staff, private check-in and check-out, and helpful support from the tour desk. Free WiFi in public areas, parking, family rooms, and car hire add useful convenience, while the property’s full-day security gives it a more polished feel than many budget desert stays.

Location is another reason people book Overnight Desert Camp. The camp sits 6 km from the centre of Merzouga and about 125 km from Moulay Ali Cherif Airport, with easy access to the Sahara Desert and Erg Chebbi. Couples rate the location especially highly, and the camp looks best for travellers who want a memorable desert night, decent comfort, and a low starting price rather than a full-service resort.
