It's a LONG journey to get here-- but when you're riding a camel off into the Sahara dunes and coming back to dinner and a fireside performance, it's all worth it! Read more

One of the most fun experiences of my life. Driving the 4x4s out to the camp is super fun and the drivers have some fun with it on the dunes. Staff are very welcoming and accomodating. The food it great! Tents only have AC at night but that was fine as we were out partaking in all the fun activities. Music and fire at night is really special. Read more

This a great spot for glamping in the desert. The room was very comfortable and pretty, with such incredible views.
We loved the camel ride, evening entertainment around the bonfire, and sandboarding right after a beautiful sunrise.
The meals were also delicious, service was so good. Just for your information, this camp sits right at the edge of the dune, not between dunes. Read more

One of the highlights of our entire vacation in Morocco! The accommodations were extremely comfortable given we were in the desert and on the edge of the sand dunes.
You are surrounded by beauty. We got to see the sunrise and sunset on the days we were there. We rode camels, sandboarded, and had the option to swim.
The staff was courteous and helpful. We got to spend extra time with Ali who was a great guide around Erg Chebbi and Merzouga.

Only need one night there. As we were told 2 nights. There is nothing to do. It was hot during the day and no Wi-Fi. Couldn’t go inside, tent was hot because they turn off the AC during the day. Read more
