Fez – The news was shared in a celebratory post showing one of the camp’s suites looking out toward the sand seas of Erg Chebbi.
“The desert spoke, and we listened and now we celebrate,” the caption read. The camp thanked guests, partners and staff for “bringing the magic of the dunes to life.”
The recognition places the property among luxury stays known for high service standards and memorable settings.
It also underlines how Morocco’s south continues to draw travelers who want nature, silence, and stargazing without giving up comfort.
Merzouga remains the most accessible gateway to the Erg Chebbi dunes.
Images from the camp show warm wooden floors and a large bed in natural-toned linens.
Handwoven Berber rugs, carved screens and lantern lighting nod to traditional craft.
Low seating, a small coffee set, and a wide picture window suggest slow mornings and starry nights.
The rooms read like compact lodges more than tents, designed to soften wind and brightness.
Glamping has grown quickly here as visitors look for a night under canvas with proper mattresses, private space, and hot showers.
The Sandy Tents positions itself squarely in that niche.
The award will likely raise its profile with international travelers planning Sahara loops from Fez or Marrakech via the Atlas.
For local tourism workers, the attention is welcome.
Recognition for well-run camps helps spread demand across the season.
Guides, drivers, and artisans benefit during quieter months when the heat or the cold discourages casual travel.
Awards matter in this segment because the choice is wide and quality can vary.
Third-party nods help travelers decide with confidence.
For The Sandy Tents, the message is simple: A desert stay can feel both grounded in place and quietly indulgent.
The rooms celebrate materials and craft that belong to the south.
The setting reminds guests why they have come. If the camp keeps pairing thoughtful design with hospitality that listens, the dunes will keep speaking, and visitors will keep coming to hear them.
