The new restaurant at the Meroe camp is OPEN!

We are very proud to announce that our new restaurant at the Meroe camp is open!

 

The new building is made of two main parts: the kitchen with storage areas, an office, a bazar and then the restaurant itself. It is on two levels connected by wonderful wooden staircases where on the top floor there are a relaxing – reading area, a meeting room, a business centre and a large terrace for outdoor dining. In this place you will also have the chance to organize cooking classes for your clients: this it the perfect environment to learn more about Sudanese cuisine.
The building is also surrounded by a shady veranda, an outdoor sitting area and the hillock on which it stands is the same as the previous restaurant. So from here you can still enjoy a wonderful view of the surrounding desert and the hill crowned by the Meroetic pyramids.

 


The entire building fits well into its natural surroundings, not only in terms of the colours but also the choice of materials.

The state of the art grass roof is 8.4 mt in the highest point and it covers an area of 2.450 smt, which makes it the largest grass roof in Sudan…and probably in Africa. The walls are built with sandstone blocks while the wooden poles that holds the natural grass roof were originally used in the old British telegraph line!
Inside you will be welcomed by warm colours and wood, entirely handcrafted by local workers. Of course the restaurant has A/C (when the generator is on) and refilling station for the water bottles.

Every detail has been thought out and implemented with great care: the design of the lamps resembles the sun that shines all year around in this area.
We can proudly say that building materials are 100% Sudanese and that there are still so many stories we could tell you about this place or the people who imagined and created it, but we prefer to wait for you here, in the land of the Black Pharaohs to show you all its beauty while we have a chat at sunset time admiring the UNESCO pyramids.
