Desert Luxury Camp Morocco

A desert camp in the heart of the dunes

Desert Luxury Camp Morocco is not on the outskirts of Merzouga but right inside the Erg Chebbi dune range. You can only reach it by 4x4 or camelback — there is no paved road to the camp, which partly explains a rate clearly higher than the local average (220 to 450 €).

This setting changes the nature of the stay: no engine noise in the distance here, no neighbouring building in sight. Only the sand ridges rising around the camp.

The royal tents

The royal tents at Desert Luxury Camp Morocco are a clear step away from the standard desert camp found elsewhere in the area. King Size bed, crafted furniture, thick rugs on the floor — the interior looks more like a hotel room set up under canvas than a classic camping tent.

Each tent has its own private marble bathroom with hot water — a rare facility for a desert camp so isolated in the dunes, where the water supply requires special logistics.

Dinner under the stars

The gourmet dinner under the stars is the high point of the stay: a table set out in the open desert, plated service, reimagined Moroccan cooking with produce brought in from Rissani. Nothing like the communal dinner served under a large tent at more modest desert camps.

Breakfast the next morning is often taken outdoors, facing the dunes still cool from the night, before the heat sets in.

What you can do from the camp

Set in the heart of Erg Chebbi, the camp runs several activities directly, with no extra transfer:

It is precisely this isolation that makes the sky particularly clear here — the Milky Way is easy to pick out from the tent entrance on some nights.

Who this camp is for

The high rate (220 to 450 €) naturally rules out travellers on a tight budget. This camp is aimed more at honeymoon couples, special celebrations, or anyone who wants a night in the desert without giving up comfort close to a high-end hotel. For a quick first taste of the desert on a limited budget, a simpler desert camp elsewhere in Merzouga will better fit the bill.

The multilingual staff handle both families and small groups equally well, with specific equipment available on prior request.

What travellers say
