Dreaming of a luxury desert camp in Merzouga? Sleeping in the Erg Chebbi dunes is the highlight of many Morocco trips, and a luxury tent makes it truly comfortable. Here is what to expect, how it differs from a standard camp and how to add it to your private tour.
In short: a luxury camp offers a spacious tent with a real bed, a private bathroom and a refined dinner, while keeping the magic of the dunes, the camel ride and the stars.
Luxury desert camp in Merzouga vs standard camp
| Standard camp | Luxury camp | |
|---|---|---|
| Tent | Simple tent with beds | Spacious tent with a real bed and decoration |
| Bathroom | Often shared | Private bathroom inside the tent |
| Dinner | Traditional dinner | More refined dinner |
| Experience | Camel ride, fire and stars | The same, with more comfort |
What a night looks like
You arrive at the edge of the dunes in the afternoon and ride a camel to the camp at sunset. After mint tea, dinner is served under the stars, often followed by music around the fire. In the morning, you wake up early to watch the sunrise over the dunes.
