Nice overall, but would not do it again

Noordin_H, Aug 2023

This was overall a once in a lifetime experience. The places we visited were all worth it and the company most of the time was really nice. Unfortunately though to food was not up to par, nor was the accommodation. It was extremely hot inside of the tents and there was no way to regulate the temperature. The toilets and the showers smelt putrid, and honestly, they were not the best. We took the dromedaries for the final stretch to the accommodation, which was nice, but I am not sure the animals appreciated it much. We are glad to have booked this activity but would not do it again or recommend someone spending more than one night there in these conditions

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Hi Noordin, Thank you for your honest feedback. We're glad you had some memorable moments but are truly sorry for the disappointment with the food, accommodation, and facilities in the extreme heat. We hear you, and we're taking this to heart to make real improvements. We hope to have the chance to offer you a better experience in the future. Best, The MERZOUGA DUNES Team
