We stayed a night at the Meroe Tented Camps while visiting the ancient Nubian sites nearby. The location is great. We sat on the upperdeck of the lodge and watched the sun set over the Sudanese pyramids. It was beautiful. The staff was helpful and friendly. The service was good. One has to understand that these are tents and adjust... More

I had a very enjoyable and atmospheric stay here - the staff were extremely friendly and hospitable. Best food I have had in Sudan- on a great terrace with a view of the pyramids. Just don't expect Abercrombie & Kent style 'luxury' here - it is utilitarian and comfortable, and is after all in the desert.

A great spot for a weekend away from Khartoum. Basic but comfortable tented accommodation. Tasty food from a set menu. A great place for kids to burn off some energy and run about. The pyramids are spectacular at dawn and dusk and our kids loved the camel ride to the pyramids. I would recommend and will stay again.

I liked this place. Luxury really is a relative term and this tented camp on a remote hillside facing the distant pyramids of Meroe provides all the necessary comforts. Each tent stands on its own terrace platform with an individual toilet/shower located in a block a few feet behind your tent (there is a small creeping sand-dune between the tents... More

First of all is a tentede camp. Secondly only the "rooms" are in a tent with beds, electricity , even veranda. The toilet of each tent is in a concrete building behind the tents. Each tent is asigned with one toilet of exclusive use. The food very tasty and generous (unlike the one at the sister hotel Nubian Rest House... More

Not a super luxury camp but perfectly comfortable tent and shower room (cold water only). An amazing view lying in bed and looking at the pyramids of Meroe in the distance. Tent became rather hot during the day and couldn't sit outside under the canvas overhang as it was south facing so not in the shade. The Italian influenced food... More

We drove ca. 2,5 hrs from Khartoum to this desert camp, which is located about 1km from the asphalt road at the end of a soft-sandy track. The tents are very basic with an external toilet/shower, meaning you have to walk there outside your privacy. There is a nice terrace-restaurant overlooking the pyramids. An authentic desert experience, mainly suited to... More

This is a magical place in the Sudanese desert. Overlooking the pyramids at Meroe the permanent tented camp is a luxurious yet simple outpost. The tents are very comfortable with proper beds and the bathrooms (just behind the tents) are beautifully fitted, offering more modern convenience than the location might suggest. Watching the sun set (or rise) over the pyramids... More
