The Ultimate Sahara Glamping Experience

A journey to a luxury Sahara desert camp is more than just a stay; it is an immersion into the silent majesty of the world's most famous desert. Located primarily in the Erg Chebbi dunes near Merzouga, these camps offer a sophisticated blend of traditional nomadic style and modern comfort. Travelers typically arrive via a sunset camel trek or a 4x4 deep-dune excursion, reaching a secluded oasis where king-sized beds, private hot showers, and gourmet Moroccan cuisine await. Whether you are traveling from Marrakech on a three-day expedition through the High Atlas Mountains or starting directly from the desert edge, the experience of sleeping under a canopy of a billion stars is unparalleled.

Planning

Historical Context

Merzouga was historically a transit point for caravans trading salt, gold, and slaves across the Sahara to Timbuktu.

Photography Tips

  • Use a tripod for star photography
  • Keep your lens covered when not in use to avoid sand scratches
  • Golden hour is shorter in the desert; be ready early.

Insider Tips

  • Bring a high-quality scarf (Cheche) to wrap your head; it's better than a hat for wind-blown sand
  • Charge all cameras before leaving Merzouga village
  • The sand is very fine; keep your phone in a sealed bag.

Our Partners

  • We partner with Viator and TripAdvisor to provide a secure, verified booking experience.

Fun Facts

  • The dunes of Erg Chebbi can reach heights of up to 150 meters
  • The Sahara is roughly the size of the United States
  • The sand's orange color comes from iron oxide.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the experience starts for a full refund.

The 3-day tour from Marrakech to Fes was perfectly organized. Our driver was professional and the camp in Merzouga was the highlight of our Morocco trip.

The camel trek at sunset was beautiful. The food at the camp was better than many restaurants in the city! Highly recommend the private tent option.

The stargazing was out of this world. No light pollution at all. The camp staff were so welcoming and the Berber music around the fire was authentic.
