Spending a weekend at this camp was one of the best decisions of our trip. The place is simply magical, surrounded by dunes that change color with the sunlight. Our tent was clean, spacious, and very comfortable, perfect for relaxing after our activities. During the day, we went on a camel ride and a quad bike ride that allowed us to explore further from the camp. At sunset, the view was breathtaking, and at night, we enjoyed traditional music under the stars. The food was delicious and plentiful, and the staff was always attentive, smiling, and very friendly. We truly felt cared for at all times

You cannot find such a place to stay in Merzouga area. Luxury in budget with this unique experience. You can chill out in big balcony and best sunset you can see. My car was stuck somewhere in desert, they came to help. In evening, they played music and had great evening. Amazing food. I have a lot more to write but it’s simply amazing place.

I had an absolutely magical experience at Sahara Dome Camp! The unique dome accommodations offered breathtaking views of the surrounding desert, and the hospitality was top-notch. The staff made us feel right at home, and the stargazing at night was simply unforgettable. I highly recommend this camp for anyone looking to connect with nature in a cozy and comfortable way

This was one of the nicest places I have ever stayed in, and definitely the best during my trip in Morocco! It is run by the loveliest family, who go out of their way to help you out. I was even taken up to and shown the archaeological sites nearby. Omar got up early to open the outside door so I could go on my morning run. The room was beautiful and the food exceptional (and the amount of food!) Omar's soup is divine. After four nights in the craziness of the Fez medina, it was a perfect, quiet and relaxing place to be. It is worth travelling to the region just to stay here.

Riad Marhaba is the perfect place to taste the real Marocco desert lifestyle being welcomed by a beautiful family

There are not enough words to describe our stay here. We had such a great time, the staff are all very attentive and very friendly, food also was super tasty, thank you so much

The tent was amazing, it was very clean and tide. The decoration is typical from Morroco, comfortable and the sky view is amazing. The food was fresh and delicious. The kind employees play local music and try to teach us to play the instruments. We have a good time there. If it’s possible, stay more than one night it worths!

Everything except the food (see disclaimer). As long as you're not expecting Michelin star dining, i think you'd be extremely satisfied with everything else that Soleil has to offer. We were attended to by Ayoub and he was a great host. Responsive, helpful, informative, with a good command of English. He gave clear instructions for us to park our rental car at Hotel Cafe du Sud (free and safe parking), picked us and our luggage up in his 4x4, and dropped us at the start point of our camel ride (sunset camel ride to the campsite @ 15 euros/pax). Camel ride itself was quite an experience and i would recommend it if you've never been on one before (also the camels didn't smell bad since it was winter/cold). Towards the end of the camel ride the nomad camel guide will sit you down and peddle his wares to earn some additional income.. we just saw it as an appropriate opportunity to offer him some money as tips for his good service. No issues =) Soleil camp is a 2-month old (at point of writing this review, Feb 2023) campsite. It is considered a more 'private' campsite as it only houses 4 accommodation tents for guests, so i would recommend this if you're not a fan of big rowdy tourist crowds. However, as with most of the other desert camps, you're still within sight (and earshot) of neighbouring camps/companies, so you can forget about being 'alone in the desert'. Location of this campsite is a distance away from the big Erg Chebbi dunes.. so if your intention is to climb the dune.. you might want to choose an alternate site or arrange a quadbike ride. Because it's new, the interior of the accommodation tents are clean and in tiptop condition. Very spacious and more than enough for a traveling couple. No room heating or air conditioning (the place runs mainly on solar power with a gas generator as backup), but you do get hot water (heated by fire wood) and a steady supply of water.

Everything was perfect, the tent was very comfortable, the meals were very generous (especially dinner), the bonfire with singing was amazing, and we had a blast spotting the stars. We liked it so much we stayed another night!!
