Real experiences from real travelers
The 90-minute camel ride was peaceful and the sunset over the dunes was the highlight of my Morocco trip. The camp was much more comfortable than expected!
Booking was easy through the platform. The drum circle at night was so authentic and the Milky Way was clearly visible. Highly recommend the luxury camp option.
The guides were very friendly and spoke great English. The camel ride can be a bit tough on the legs if you aren't used to it, but it's worth it for the views.
Everything from the pickup in Merzouga to the morning sandboarding was perfectly timed. The food (tagine) was some of the best we had in Morocco.
The Erg Chebbi dunes are massive! Spending the night under the stars in a private tent was a bucket list item checked. Very secure and professional.
The dunes are breathtaking. The standard camp is basic but clean. Bring a warm jacket as the desert gets very cold at night even in summer.
We did the 2-night luxury stay. The sandboarding was so much fun and having a private shower in the desert felt like such a treat. Great value.
The guides shared so much about their nomadic heritage. It didn't feel like a tourist trap, but a genuine cultural exchange. The camels are well cared for.
Everything you need to know for your journey
Typically, the ride into the dunes takes between 1 and 1.5 hours, timed perfectly to catch the sunset before reaching the camp.
Wear long, loose trousers to prevent chafing against the camel's saddle. A scarf or 'cheche' is essential to protect against sun and wind-blown sand. Layered clothing is best as temperatures drop at night.
Luxury camps usually offer solar power for charging devices and sometimes limited Wi-Fi. Standard camps have very limited or no electricity in the guest tents, though charging may be available in the main tent.
Yes, most operators offer a 4WD transfer to the camp for guests who have physical limitations or simply prefer not to ride a camel. This can usually be arranged at the time of booking.
Yes, the food is prepared fresh by camp staff. You'll typically enjoy a traditional Moroccan tagine, soup (harira), fresh fruit, and mint tea. Vegetarian and vegan options are usually available upon request.
The best time is from March to May and September to November. Summer (June-August) can be extremely hot, while winter nights can drop to near freezing.
Luxury camps feature private en-suite bathrooms with flushing toilets and hot showers. Standard camps have shared facilities that are basic but functional.
Yes, children generally enjoy the experience. Younger children can sit with an adult, and older children can have their own camel. 4WD options are also available for families.
In winter (December-February), temperatures can drop to 0°C (32°F). In spring and autumn, expect around 10-15°C (50-60°F) at night. Always bring a warm jacket regardless of the season.
