A tight budget does not mean sacrificing the night in the desert.
Our Standard Desert Camp, at 80 € per person, covers exactly what makes a good night in the dunes: traditional dinner, camel ride, campfire, night under canvas.
This guide details what this rate really includes, what it does not cover, and who it suits best.
How much does a budget desert camp in Merzouga cost?
80 € per person, with transport, dinner, camel ride and breakfast included.
This rate stays the same regardless of the number of participants in the group, with no deposit to pay before arrival.
For groups or families, our desert tour from Marrakech includes this option directly in the trip programme.
What does a budget desert camp in Merzouga include?
Return transport to the camp, a Moroccan dinner prepared on site, a night under canvas with mattresses and blankets, Berber musical entertainment around the fire, and breakfast.
The camel ride to reach the camp is an integral part of the package, with a late-afternoon departure to enjoy the sunset on the way.
Is the standard desert camp comfortable despite its price?
Yes.
The tents are sturdy, with mattresses and thick blankets.
The real difference from the comfort and luxury options is not the basic comfort — it is the privacy: shared bathrooms rather than private, a communal tent rather than an individual one.
Do still bring an extra warm layer for the evening: the temperature swings between day and night in the Moroccan Sahara, as described on the official Moroccan tourism website (visitmorocco.com), can come as a surprise outside the summer months.
Practical tip
Always ask for written confirmation of what is included before paying, to avoid surprise extras once you are there.
