The main accommodations in Djanet are the camping grounds where you can stay in small huts. Eating is also done here. However, there is one place in town called the Hotel Zeribas (250d to camp per person, cars free, basic rooms around 500d) right in the town center next to the post office. It at least has hot water, plenty of shade and good security. They'll try and rope you in for a cous-cous meal in their restaurant, but it is nothing special and overpriced at 500d pp. There are restaurants just out the door.

There is another place called the Hotel Tenere which is miles south out of town. But unless it's Christmas time, it may seem deserted.

Food & Water:
Food served on many touristy desert expeditions generally consists of mutton in a sauce, served with rice or pasta, and canned vegetables - fresh food, fish, chicken and items requiring refrigeration are not on the menu; fresh fruit that is brought into Timbuktu seasonally is always included as available (e.g. citrus fruit, watermelons). Bread is baked daily in the desert sand, and dried dates provide a high-energy snack.

Note to Vegetarians: please be aware that food prepared will always include meat; in this environment and under expedition conditions, we cannot assure balanced nutrition for persons who adhere strictly to a vegetarian regimen; you would be well advised to bring along your own protein sources.

Water comes from deep desert wells (50 - 60 meters deep) and it is potable, but you should bring your own water purification tablets as an additional safeguard. Bottled mineral water can also be brought from Timbuktu for a trek by vehicle, but this is not practical on the camel caravans (unless additional camels are utilized). Well water is also available for bathing, when overnighting at an oasis.
