Meroe Tented Camp
Hotel category
Basic
Surrounded golden desert sands and overlooking the striking steepsided pyramids of Meroe, the Meroe Tented Camp is located in Bagarwiya (about 230 km north of Khartoum) and offers accommodation in 22 spacious and tastefully appointed tents (each 4x4m in area). The standard of accommodation is basic but the experience of staying in this beautiful desert region with its stunning archaeological treasures is second to none. Each twin bedded tent is set on a concrete base and has its own veranda with two comfortable chairs on which you can relax while admiring the astonishing view of more than forty Kushite pyramids - located just 2 km away! Electrity is available for lighting until eleven each night. It should be noted that the tents do not have fans or air-conditioning and can be quite ’warm’ at night at the start and end of the season. A private bathroom with wahbasin, loo and shower is allocated to each tent and located to the rear of the accommodation in a seperate ablution block. Dining at the Meroe Tented Camp is either buffet style or table d’hote (depending on occupancy). An appetising seelction of salads and hot local and international dishes, are provided in an attractive African-style dining room which features a thatched roof and wide outside terrace where you can enjoy a cool soft drink at the end of a busy day’s sightseeing. The Meroe Tented Camp has an Italian manager who is assisted by a team of friendly and well trained Sudanese staff.
