Erg Chigaga Desert Camp
Your tour includes a night here, in the wildest and most remote dunes in Morocco — a Bedouin camp deep in the Erg Chigaga, reached by a one-hour camel ride across the sand.
The camp
The wildest, most remote corner of the Moroccan Sahara — big dunes, a Bedouin tent, and a fire under the stars.
This is a Bedouin camp set deep in the Erg Chigaga — the wildest and least-visited dune sea in Morocco, far from the crowds. Its 14 tents keep the authenticity of a true nomad dwelling while adding real comfort: spacious, well-equipped, and elegantly decorated in Arabian and Amazigh style, with the dunes right outside.
You arrive at the camp by camel — a one-hour ride across the sand — or by 4×4, around 160 km out from Zagora. Meals are cooked at the camp by the team’s own cook, and the evening belongs to the fire: songs, mint tea, and, if you’d rather, a bed made up under the open stars.

Before you go
Arriving ready
Pack a warm layer
Out in the dunes the nights get cold, especially in winter — bring a jacket even if the day was hot.
It's genuinely remote
The camp is around 160 km out from Zagora, deep in the desert — bring water for the journey.
Charging
It's a very remote camp, so a power bank is a good idea. ⚑ confirm power/Wi-Fi
You arrive by camel
The last stretch to the camp is a one-hour camel ride (or 4×4). Keep a small bag handy for the ride; your main luggage comes to the camp by vehicle. ⚑ confirm luggage handling
A little cash
Useful for drinks, tips, or any extras you add at the camp.
Stay up, then rise early
The Chigaga skies are extraordinary — stay out for the stars and set an alarm for sunrise over the dunes.
Good to know
Questions guests ask
How do I get to the camp?
You arrive by camel — a one-hour ride across the sand to the camp — or by 4×4 if you'd prefer. The camp is around 160 km out from Zagora, deep in the Erg Chigaga.
Are the bathrooms private or shared?
They're shared. The bathroom facilities are in a shared block just outside your tent; there are no private bathrooms in the tents.
What are the tents like?
There are fourteen spacious Bedouin tents, well-equipped and decorated in Arabian and Amazigh style, with the dunes right outside. On a clear night you can also sleep out under the stars.
Are the Chigaga dunes the biggest in Morocco?
No — the tallest dunes in Morocco are at Erg Chebbi, near Merzouga. What sets Erg Chigaga apart is that it's the wildest, most remote and least touristy dune sea in the country.
What happens in the evening?
A traditional meal is cooked at the camp, and the evening is spent around the fire with songs and mint tea, under an enormous sky of stars.
What should I bring for the night?
A warm layer for the cold nights, a small bag for the camel ride, a little cash for drinks or extras, and a power bank — it's a very remote camp. Bring water for the journey too.
