About the venue
Sahara Beach Lounge sits on the Meinerswijk floodplain, where low water exposes a wide sandy beach that gets topped up every spring and covered with a large Bedouin-style marquee lined with rugs and cushions. The idea came from owner Karim Benkirane, who wanted to bring the atmosphere of a Marrakech wedding to the riverside at Arnhem.
Karim usually replies within one day and can arrange a dhol performance for the bridal entrance alongside the usual Moroccan offering on request. The lounge is fully alcohol-free, has its own mechoui pit outside the marquee, and a sound system cleared to run deep into the night; when winter water levels rise, the lounge temporarily relocates to a fixed hall nearby.

Recommendations
5 recommendations“When I walked into the Bedouin marquee with all the rugs and cushions along the walls, it genuinely felt like being back at a family wedding in Marrakech. Karim has captured that feeling exactly right.”
“The dhol performance at the bridal entrance gave us goosebumps, something we wanted alongside the Moroccan offering and Karim arranged it without any trouble.”
“The mechoui pit outside the marquee sent a smell that drew everyone outside while the meat cooked. With 230 guests it was a grand evening.”
“For a moment I was worried we'd have to move to the fixed hall because of high water, but in summer that turned out not to be an issue. Karim always replied within a day whenever I had another question about the weather.”
“The sound was cleared to run deep into the night and you could tell from the dance floor, nobody went home early.”
