Meroe Camp

Sudan / Nahr-an-Nil / Kabusiyah /

The Meroe tented Camp is located in Bagrwyia, (about 230 km. north of Khartoum) overlooking the beautiful pyramids of Meroe. Accommodation consists of 10 twin-bedded luxury and tastefully furnished tents (4 x 4 mt) and 10 bathroom huts with toilet and shower. The Camp is located at 3.5 km from the Royal Necropolis. Each tent is equipped with a veranda with two comfortable chairs to relax with the astonishing view of the shape of more then twenty pyramids. The tents have electricity produced by a generator working till 10:00 pm.

A restaurant building is available for the guests. The nomad tent is an original structure of the nomad Beja tribes of the Eastern desert, formed by a big length of camel hair 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.
