Dar Tafouyte

People there are very warm and friendly, always ready to help if you have any questions. My family and I arrived late and they welcomed us with dinner. We slept one night in a hotel and the next one in a luxury camp. During the day we had fun relaxing, swimming in the pool, driving buggies... The accommodation was good and clean, you could see the dunes not that far away from it. In the evening we headed towards the camp on camels and to watch the sunset (it was a fun first time experience but personally next time I would avoid camels and go with a 4x4 as we did on our way back since it gets quite uncomfortable to be on them). We had the camp all for ourselves. Tents were big with very comfy beds and a shower with hot water, there was also wifi. After dinner we enjoying Berber music around a camp fire, while dancing and drumming together. It gets cold during the night in the desert and very hot after 9am in tents. Waking up for a sunrise is a must and sandbording was fun. Overall great experience!

This was the highlight of our 2-week travels in Morocco. We wanted to do desert camping on our own instead of a tour rushing you from Marrakech to Merzouga so I book this hotel as a starting point and from there onwards they took care of everything. The staff and management is from Merzouga village so they know everything in and out and do actually go out of your way to ensure all aspects. I asked questions about camping at the time of booking this hotel and I was provided complete details and pricing so we took CTM bus from Ouarzazate to Merzouga and we were picked up from the Merzouga bus station, even though that bus arrives at 9PM. They communicated through the app to check on your arrival time and meals in advance, upon arrival we were provided 2 different room choices to pick the one we like and dinner was ready also in 20-25 mins. Next morning I paid cash for the camping and we were told that whenever we like to go to the desert they will take us, as generally they take guests at 4PM but in our case we left for camel ride to the campsite around 12PM or so. Prior to that I asked if a quad trip is possible and they arranged for 1 in just 15 mins. Everything from camp to meals, sandboarding and all other activities were very good and well thought off. After a night in our luxury tent we took a 4x4 ride back to Dar Tafouyte where our luggage was kept in the same room from the day before and we took our taxi to Fez which was also arranged through them. If you are thinking of desert camping and authentic experience just arrange for you to get to Merzouga on your own and these guys will take care of the rest. 5-star and simply outstanding. There is nothing negative about the place or the experience. Their prices, I found are a lot more competitive then others who provide tour services. They property is also well spread out and there is a pool.
