There are several staggered camps in the desert. This was comfortable and the staff was attentive and fun. It was advised that we bring our own cocktails which was great advice as they do not carry any

Everything was clean and comfortable. The window coverings were sheer which didn’t bother us but may be disturbing to some people

The desert camp experience was excellent. The accommodations were clean and functional in the Domes, overlooking the desert. Beautiful skies at night, great food and service from the staff. Would recommend this to include as part of your visit to Morocco. Read more

A stay like no other- Desert Luxury camp exceeded my expectations. You take an adventurous 10 minute 4x4 ride to get to a secluded spot in the middle of the Sahara. Surrounded by dunes, but not without modern luxuries (the full bathrooms in each tent were far more luxurious than I was expecting!). With almost 0 light pollution, it's an incredible place to stargaze. The food was excellent, staff superb, and the location is rugged and beautiful. Stay at least 2 nights, you won't want to leave.

The Desert Luxury Camp Erg Chebbi was fantastic. The experience of spending the night in the desert was truly remarkable and everything about this accommodation was excellent. We loved the sunset and the unique experience it provided. The location was great and the whole family, including our kids, thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

It's a tent - albeit a luxury one - probably as good as it could be!

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
