Hotel Review

Stargazing Merzouga Camp is a strong choice for travelers who want a Merzouga hotel experience that feels more immersive than conventional. Guests consistently describe a place with attentive staff, a calm desert setting, and the kind of atmosphere that makes the stay part of the trip, not just a base for it.

The accommodation leans into comfort rather than roughing it. Rooms come with private bathrooms, showers, and mountain views, and the camp offers family rooms as well as double, triple, quadruple, and family options. Recent guests praise the large beds and the sense of luxury in the tents, which makes the property suitable for couples, small groups, and families who want a softer landing in the Sahara.

Breakfast is included and comes with vegetarian, vegan, halal, and breakfast-to-go options. Dinner also gets strong guest feedback for quality and variety, which matters in a camp setting where dining can make or break the experience. The hotel description does not mention a full restaurant concept, so the food story here is best understood as thoughtful camp dining rather than a broad resort offering.

Service is one of the clearest strengths. Reviews repeatedly mention friendly, entertaining, and very attentive staff, along with memorable touches such as music in the evening. Free WiFi and free off-site private parking add practical value, and the camp also lists hiking, skiing, walking tours, local culture tours, bike tours, cooking classes, and happy hour among its activities.

Stargazing Merzouga Camp sits 2.9 km from the center of Merzouga and about 131 km from Moulay Ali Cherif Airport. It suits travelers who want desert scenery, organized activities, and a highly rated stay with a personal feel. Couples especially seem to love it, with the location scoring 10.0 for two-person trips.
