Comfort under the stars

A luxury desert camp in Merzouga

Spacious tents with real beds and private bathrooms, dinner by candlelight and the dunes of Erg Chebbi at your door.

Tours with a luxury camp option

A night in the Sahara does not have to mean roughing it. In the dunes of Erg Chebbi, a few camps offer the comfort of a good hotel in the middle of the desert: tents furnished with real beds and Berber rugs, private bathrooms with hot showers, and dinners served under the stars.

We include these camps in our desert tours on request, in the Superior category of our 5-day tour, or as an upgrade on any route to Merzouga.

    What makes a camp “luxury”

    • A private tent for you, with a double or twin beds, linen and blankets.
    • An ensuite bathroom with a toilet and a hot shower.
    • Electricity for lights and charging your phone.
    • A dinner of Moroccan dishes, often by candlelight in the sand, then music around the fire.
    • A setting deep enough in the dunes that you see nothing but sand and stars.

    How you get there

    The classic way is by camel, at sunset, with your luggage following by 4x4. If you prefer, you can reach the camp directly by 4x4. In the morning, watch the sunrise from the top of a dune before breakfast.

    Which tour to choose

    Our 5-day Marrakech to Merzouga tour in Superior category includes a night at the Azawad Luxury Desert Camp, with 4-star hotels for the other nights. On the 3-day tours from Marrakech or Fes, the luxury camp is available as an upgrade.

Questions travellers ask

Is there a private bathroom in the tent?

Yes, in the luxury camps we work with, each tent has its own bathroom with a toilet and a hot shower.

Is it cold at night?

From November to March, desert nights can be close to freezing. Tents have thick blankets, and some camps provide heaters. Bring a warm layer for the evening around the fire.

Can we book only the camp?

Yes, if you already have transport. Most travellers combine it with one of our private tours, since Merzouga is a long drive from Marrakech or Fes.
