Pizza Night in Arfoud

An easy night out in town — wood-fired and welcoming.

Experiences

Enjoy a relaxed lunch or dinner at one of Arfoud's most renowned pizzerias — a perfect alternative for guests who want to explore local dining outside the hotel while enjoying a casual atmosphere and some of the area's most popular pizzas.

Arfoud is a desert town, but the night life is real — small terraces, friendly chatter, the smell of dough on hot stone. Our concierge books your table, arranges a short transfer from the hotel, and recommends the pizzas the locals order. Ideal for a relaxed family dinner, a casual group meal, or a quiet date night between two longer days in the desert.

Layer up

Clothes for the Atlas & the desert

Dress in layers — a cool High-Atlas morning can become a hot dune afternoon.
A fleece or sweater for the nights — both in the Atlas and the desert it cools sharply after sundown.
Closed, broken-in shoes for kasbahs, gorges and dune-walks.
A wide cheche scarf — shields you from the sun, the wind and the fine sand.

Don't forget

Essential accessories

Sunglasses and SPF 50 sunblock — Saharan sun is genuinely intense.
A cap or wide-brimmed hat for the central hours of the day.
Lip balm and moisturiser — the air is bone-dry and your skin will notice.
Reusable water bottle + hand sanitiser for the 4×4 stretches.

After sundown

Nights on the route

A small torch or head-lamp for moving around camp once the lanterns dim.
An extra layer — at 3 a.m. on the dune the temperature can drop by 15 °C.
Something soft for the ride out — camels sway, you'll thank yourself.
Phone on airplane mode — let the silence and the stars do the talking.
