On a budget? Find Cheap Hotels in Merzouga, Morocco

"Great rooms, tower rooms on roof very spacious, great for star gazing and watching action in the dunes. Good Moroccan food, substantial good breakfast included."

"We spotted many listings for bivouac camps out of Merzouga that seemed inexpensive, but required extra fees for the camel pickup, meals, etc. Ali & Sara offer a lot for what seems like a higher price point than their competitors, but EVERYTHING was included. Given that their offering included the camel pickup from Merzouga, free parking at a hotel in the Merzouga village, a wonderful local dinner and breakfast, a souvenir turban scarf to protect your head and breathing from the sun and sands, copious amounts of bottled water, working bathrooms, and the 4x4 ride back into the parking lot the next day, you really are getting a lot for the price. We had a great experience the whole way, although we wish that they were more responsive to email messages before our trip (we only received directions on how to find the parking lot and how to pay the day we were scheduled to come). Other than that, our knowledgeable guide Hassan led us on the 90min camel ride into the camp, and even managed to get us on top of the dunes halfway in so that we could see the sunset over the Sahara. The meals were amazing local fare that were among the highlights of our 10d trip. It was a clear night, and so our hosts offered to move our beds outdoors so we could sleep under the stars. The ambience that night was also nice with the African band playing into midnight and the campfire and friendly people all around. Despite the fact that this is essentially a hotel, complete with running water, electricity, and wifi deep in the sands, you can pretend for a night you are far away from civilization."
