Obóz na pustyni w Merzoudze: czego się spodziewać w Erg Chebbi

A night in a Merzouga desert camp is the heart of a Morocco desert tour: a camel ride at sunset, dinner by the fire, music, and the stars over the dunes of Erg Chebbi. This guide explains what the camp is like and what to bring.

The camp in the dunes

The camps sit among the dunes of Erg Chebbi, a short camel ride from Merzouga. You sleep in a fixed tent with a real bed and blankets. The standard camp has toilets in the camp; the luxury camp has its own bathroom in the tent area and a private dinner.

The evening: camel ride, dinner and music

The camel ride leaves in the late afternoon and reaches the camp at sunset. Dinner is served by the fire, with music from the camp team. The sky over Erg Chebbi is one of the clearest in Morocco.

The night and the morning

Nights in the desert are cold — near freezing in winter — and quiet. In the morning, climb a dune for the sunrise, have breakfast in the camp, and ride back to Merzouga.

What to bring to the camp

A warm layer for the night, even in spring and autumn. Sunscreen and a hat for the day. A small bag for the night — your big luggage stays in the vehicle. The camp provides the bed, blankets and dinner.

Which tours sleep in the camp

Every desert tour sleeps one night in the camp: the 3-day tour from Marrakech, the 7-day tour, and the honeymoon tour, which uses the luxury camp. The overnight desert camp with a camel ride can also be booked as a single activity from €40 per person.
