    Excellent stay, but could be improved Merzouga is a wonderful destination, but my stay was a bit mixed. The desert itself is stunning and the two day camel trek was the highlight. However, the hotel could have been a bit more comfortable: it was a bit rustic, but it added to the charm. The people were welcoming and the food was delicious, especially the tajine. A great experience overall, but a little more attention to detail would make it perfect.
