Top Rissani Hotel Reviews

Amanar Khaimas Desert Camp

Amanar Khaimas Desert Camp

10/10 Excellent
"The tents on the campground were beautifully appointed and felt like luxury hotel rooms, from a clean and comfortable bed to high-quality shower and bathroom areas. The personnel could not have been more attentive and accommodating and were helpful and supportive at every turn. Set dinners were well-priced and were very good. My one cautionary message would be some unexpected additional charges imposed by the camp. They charge 300 MAD ($30 US) per night for critically important nighttime air-conditioning (daytime heat in the Sahara makes nighttime in the tent unbearably warm), and 300 MAD ($30 US) for 4-wheel drive transportation, each way, between the main road in Mergouza (as near to the camp as most cars can go) to the camp. Our two nights at this camp were a fun and memorable experience — visits to nomadic areas and camel rides our favorite highlights — and would highly recommend it."

"Una experiencia simplemente inolvidable. Desde nuestra llegada a Imperial Glory Lodges, el personal nos hizo sentir como en casa con un servicio excepcional y una hospitalidad increíble. Las tiendas de lujo son amplias, elegantes y muy cómodas, y el entorno entre las dunas es espectacular. La comida estaba deliciosa y la velada bajo las estrellas con música tradicional fue el broche de oro. Sin duda, uno de los mejores lugares para vivir la magia del desierto marroquí. ¡Volveremos!"
