Magic Luxury Camp — Hotel in Caïdat de Taouz

The owner and staff were extremely attentive and always made us feel welcome. I had many questions before my stay and the owner was quick to respond. He made arrangements for our camels for us to go to the camp at our request in advance. You first, (if you came by car), park at a (safe location) riad and then are driven to the camels close by. Your luggage is delivered by car to the camp and waiting for you when you arrive. During the journey there are stops for photo opportunities and then to watch the sunset. We then arrived by camel, to a magically lit camp and were immediately offered tea and some snacks under the gazebo. The camp (like all of them) was situated next to the dunes, but you really feel like you are completely in them.During the stay the owner asked if we were interested in any activities. We inquired about quads and he also arranged that for us. They have sand boards you can use for free too. You have to pay cash, but not until departure. We also included all of our tips at the end which was nice as the staff divide them up. We returned by their vehicle at no charge which I recommend because after everything, we felt we were ready to just start heading to our next stop. One night is not enough to get a full experience (but is better than nothing if you are limited on time.) Two nights are perfect. They have a buffet breakfast (eggs, fruit, breads, pastries, yogurt, juice tea and coffee). Dinner was included too and was also good. They served a different entree each night. As soon as you finish dinner everyone heads over, a short walk from the camp, to a campfire and entertainment. We got to dance and also practice with their instruments. The tents were decorated lovely and were very comfortable. We had a king size bed and two twins. There is also seating outside each tent. I highly recommend this Magic Luxury Camp as it was definitely the biggest highlight of our two...

Magic Luxory Camp:|Do not hesitate to book this camp! Staying in a desert camp was the most important part of our trip so I spent weeks researching trying to find the perfect camp. I had dwindled it down to a few options and then our first choice we had booked with actually canceled since they were closing in July since it’s the quiet month. We lucked out that Magic Luxury camp still had spots and I am so happy how it all turned out! Their camp location was perfect, it is smaller than some other camps which I preferred and is shielded in the dunes so you can barely hear nearby camps. The dunes surrounding the camp were beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our camel ride to the camp. Everyone working there was so friendly and welcoming and we had a great time chatting with them all. Dinner was sooo tasty and there were huge portions. The tents and bathrooms were clean and spacious. The staff actually gave us the option to sleep on mats under the stars and everyone opted to do that. It was beautiful and so much fun. The next morning the manager actually drove us directly to the next hotel we were staying at in Merzouga instead of dropping us off at the hotel you meet at. He knew we didn’t have a car and was kind enough to take time from his morning to drive us to our hotel which was farther away. Please do not hesitate to stay here you will not regret it!||Also, before we stayed here we were worried about what it would be like in July as so many people complained about the heat and said it was too much. The heat was NOT a problem at all. You don’t go to the camp until a few hours before sunset so it’s already cooler and it takes awhile in the morning to warm up. The tents are a little warmer but if that bothers you then sleep outside it was...

Clean and comfortable suites. They have everything one might need for a pleasant stay. Good water pressure even at night. It was surprisingly hot in the evening at the end of October in the suites, but it got comfortably cool closer to midnight.

We arrived at the parking lot around 6 p.m., then were transferred to the camp by 4x4 (we didn’t want to ride camels). The ride took about 10 minutes. We were welcomed by the staff with tea. We had time to climb the nearest dune and enjoy the sunset. Afterwards, they showed us our rooms and explained the agenda.

At 8 p.m., we had a wonderful dinner: salad, bread, olives, two tagines (vegetarian and chicken), and tea. Then we sat near the fire, played music, danced, and chatted together. After ten, our family stayed outside alone, enjoying the breathtaking Milky Way and the peaceful tranquility of the desert.

At 7 a.m. the next morning, we went (on our own) to watch the sunrise on the nearest dune. By the time we returned, around 8 a.m., breakfast was already ready. The breakfast was ok, too. We wish there were more protein options besides boiled eggs. Afterwards, we had enough time to pack and left at 9:30 a.m. The staff never rushed us.

Overall, we had a great time. We are a family of four, including two parents over 50, and we all enjoyed the experience. We were also lucky with our neighbors—just us and one Italian family. Even though there are many camps close to each other in that area, it still felt almost like we were alone.

Special thanks to the staff for not pushing us to buy any extra activities. We said we weren’t interested, and they didn’t insist or change their attitude toward us. The transfer was included, just as described.

Merci beaucoup, nous avons passé...
