Erg Chigaga Luxury Desert Camp
Deep in the Erg Chigaga — Morocco's wildest, most remote dunes — a luxury bivouac with a private ensuite in every tent, queen beds, and a cup of mint tea at sunset.
The hotel
Real desert luxury in the wildest dunes in Morocco — your own ensuite tent, a queen bed, and mint tea as the sun goes down.
This is a luxury bivouac in the heart of the Erg Chigaga, about 1.5 hours from M’Hamid — the wildest, least-visited dunes in Morocco, far from the crowds. Just six luxurious tents, each with a queen bed, a sitting area, a wardrobe and its own private bathroom and shower inside the tent. The service is personal and attentive, with cooking classes and a cup of mint tea as the sun sets over the sand.
At nightfall the camp is lit and the desert works its magic. Dinner is served wherever you like it — on top of a dune, or privately by your tent under the stars: a Moroccan menu of a special starter, two traditional dishes and Moroccan pastries, with mint tea. Then nothing but the silence of the desert.

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 1.5 hours from M'Hamid, deep in the desert — bring water for the journey.
Charging
Power outlets are in the common areas — bring a power bank if you like to charge overnight.
You arrive by 4×4 or camel
The last stretch to the camp is by 4×4 or a camel ride. ⚑ confirm which, and whether the camel ride is included
Be back for sunset
Sunset is the moment here — a cup of mint tea as the sky turns. Then dinner under the stars.
Stay up, then rise early
The Chigaga skies are extraordinary — stay out for the stars and set an alarm for sunrise over the dunes.

Do the tents have private bathrooms?
Yes. Each of the six luxury tents has its own private bathroom and shower inside the tent, plus a queen bed, a sitting area and a wardrobe.
Are the Chigaga dunes the biggest in Morocco?

What should I bring for the night?
A warm layer for the cold nights, a little cash for any extras, and a power bank — power outlets are in the common areas. Bring water for the journey too.
