Unlike a quick desert stop, this activity lets you truly live the magic of the Sahara. You won’t just ride a camel—you’ll follow the same paths once taken by nomads, crossing the soft golden dunes as the sun sets over Erg Chebbi. At camp, you’ll enjoy warm Moroccan hospitality with a freshly prepared dinner, traditional Berber music, and stories by the campfire.

What makes it special is the peaceful atmosphere: no city lights, no noise—just endless stars above you and the silence of the desert around you. Whether you choose a cozy traditional tent or a luxury private tent with its own bathroom, you’ll wake up to one of the most breathtaking sunrises of your life.

This is more than a tour—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that combines adventure, culture, and comfort in the heart of the Sahara.

What To Expect

On this experience, you’ll ride a camel across the golden dunes of Merzouga, just as the nomads have done for centuries. As the sun begins to set, you’ll enjoy the magical colors of the desert sky and take beautiful photos along the way. Your camel guide will lead you to our desert camp, where a traditional Moroccan dinner awaits under the stars. After dinner, you can relax by the campfire while listening to Berber music and gazing at the Milky Way in the clear desert sky. You’ll then spend the night in a comfortable private tent, complete with a proper bed and private bathroom (depending on your camp choice). In the morning, you’ll wake early to watch the sunrise over the dunes, followed by a delicious breakfast before riding the camel (or taking a 4x4) back to Merzouga.

We booked a night in the desert via via viator. tent with private shower and bath, very clean and tidy. even though it is not hot outside in September, the tent but the tent was a little hot. that is the biggest advantage of this place. they cook traditional tortilla (very rich!), for dinner they cook so much food for only 10 euros that you can not move later. again, very, very tasty. the people who work there - can help you in any way you need, super friendly and pleasant. at night they performed traditional Berber music and dances. this was very interesting and fun in terms of activities, you can track camels, atv in Sahara and Sandboarding. all these are highly recommended Thanks for your hami and Team
incredible experience

Me and my friends we had a perfect experience at the desert camp this is the place! From the moment we made the reservation the hami contact us and explained all the details we need. When we enter to Sahara the stuf found us on the way, helped us to park the car and brought us to the camel location. The stuff took us with the camels to the place, on the way we stooped for beautiful sunset and when we arrive we was welcomed by tea and water. The tants are perfect, you feel like at Aladdin movie, very comfortable and beautiful. At the evening we had delicious dinner and after that beautiful performance by the stuff on the drums with traditional Moroccan music. We suggest to wake up to for the sunrise in the morning, Highly recommended this place to spend 1 o 2 nights in the desert duns

The camp is beautiful and the tents are very well decorated. Breakfast and dinner are exceptional. I'm sure there's no better campsite in Erg chebbi desert than this one, in every way: customer service (Hami is always asking if everything is ok and if we're happy, this is priceless!) food, interior and exterior decoration in the tents. I can't wait to go back. Highly recommended this camp in Erg chebbi desert.

We had a wonderful experience in the Sahara desert with Hami and his team. They kindly picked up us from the bus station early after our overnight bus journey from Fes and let us rest in our beautiful luxury tent. Our evening consisted of a lovely camel ride to watch the sunset over the dunes followed by a very hearty Moroccan dinner with more food than we could possibly eat. We concluded the evening with some lovely traditional Berber music and some romantic stargazing under the beautiful skies. We highly recommend this activity to anyone coming to the Sahara! An unforgettable experience with some incredibly kind and welcoming people.

We loved this place totally. From the first time I was sure, that I will be welcomed by the host. The owner has sent me message with complete information about arrival. Just imagine, you are a European citizen, you are planning your trip to Morocco You don't now traditions and the area, you book a stay in a desert camp and you suddenly you get perfect hospitality treatment from a very gentle person. You realize that it he is really doing all the best to you to feal yourself welcome in a great different culture. In a faraway located and beautiful Marocco. That was the greatest part of our trip! We recommend it to other travelers

we’re absolutely amazing. Very welcoming and a wonderful sense of humor (ask for some riddles and Berber words to learn). We sat around the fire with Lahor(spelling?) and learned about Berber culture until the wee hours of the morning. It was definitely the highlight of our time in Morocco and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great time with wonderful locals
amazing

Hami who we organised everything with was very helpful. He even managed to get us a nice personalised cake through his staff as a surprise for my wife's birthday and she was completely surprised as she was not expecting this in the desert. The staff there edir especially are very helpful, fun and has great customer service skills. It was a pleasure to meet these guys. The 4x4 drive to to and from the camp was a lot of fun too. The tent is right next to the dunes which is always great. Had a great time here and would to recommend this camp
