Hotel Kasbah Mohayut in Merzouga - Overnight In Deep Desert

Those prepared to dispense with the relative comfort of the luxury bivouacs can take the opportunity to venture further into the desert for this overnight stay in the dunes.

Arrive at the hotel by 4 o'clock for a 1 and a half hour camel trek into the desert to reach the tent and your evening meal. Wake to see the sunrise and return to the hotel for breakfast at 8 a.m.

The deep desert camp (Mohayut camp No. 1) has 6 tents and a toilet.

This was excellent. Not having been on a camel before I was pleasantly surprised at the reasonably comfortable 'saddle' they had. The Berber tent was really good. We were slightly separate from the main group there being just two tents. The evening meal was excellent. G.P. April 2008

We were under-prepared for the night, given a fierce sandstorm which almost blew our bivouak away and covered us in fine sand. Warm clothing, torches and a lighter (for candles) are essential. The camel rides were great fun and the whole experience was an unforgettable adventure. T.S. February 2008

Great fun. Really well organised and a fantastic way to spend new year. A nice suprise to find proper mattress and sheets!..and lots of blankets. J.C. Jan 2008

We just loved this camel trek! The camels were very sweet natured and the experience of being in the middle of the desert was amazing. C.S. Aug 2007
