Meroe Tented Camp is located in Bagarwyia, (about 230 km north of Khartoum) overlooking the beautiful pyramids of Meroe. The nomad tent is an original structure of the nomad Beja tribes of the Eastern desert, formed by a big length of camelhair dark brown cloth and it is furnished with carpets, cushions and small tables to be used as living room before and after dinner.

Just in front of the tent, a fire wood will be lighted in the evening where a tea or coffee will be served. The camp is managed by an Italian manager. With this permanent facility, this arid region of extraordinary archaeological interest, and beautiful landscapes become accessible even to those reluctant to sacrifice their comfort.

Meroe Permanent Tented Camp: Camping in style at Meroe

I stayed in this tented camp for 2 nights on a 10 day adventure holiday in northern Sudan. Staying here was memorable - the tents were comfortable, not luxurious, but ideal considering the overall lack of infrastructure in this part of the world. Italian influenced dinners were very tasty - followed by a full sky of stars and an early morning rise to explore one of the greatest pyramid complexes south of Aswan!
