Comfortable Erg Chebbi desert camp

Why We No Longer Offer Standard Desert Camps in Merzouga

At Marrakech Desert Trips, your comfort, safety, and satisfaction are at the heart of everything we do. That’s why we’ve made the important decision to no longer offer standard desert camps in Merzouga. This change was not made lightly—but with your best interests in mind.

Over the years, we’ve worked with trusted local partners to deliver unforgettable Sahara experiences. However, many standard camps no longer meet the standards we require for our guests. Here’s why:

 No Backup Plan for Weather

Standard camps often lack contingency options in case of extreme desert weather. We can’t risk your safety or comfort without guaranteed alternatives.

 No Assured Sunset Camel Rides

Especially during peak season, many standard camps can’t guarantee the iconic sunset camel trek—a highlight of your desert adventure.

 Unacceptable Staff Behavior

We’ve encountered recurring issues with some camps refusing accountability for staff misconduct, including pushy sales tactics or inappropriate behavior. That’s a red line for us.

 Animal Welfare Matters

We care deeply about the treatment of animals. Unfortunately, many standard camps fail to meet basic welfare standards for their camels—something we simply cannot support.

 No Liability Insurance

Most budget camps don’t carry liability insurance, putting both our guests and our company at unnecessary risk.

Why We Chose the Deluxe Camp—And Why You’ll Love It

In light of these issues, we now exclusively work with our long-time trusted partner to offer only deluxe desert camp experiences in Merzouga. You can expect:

  •  Spacious en-suite tents with real beds and quality linens
  •  Delicious Moroccan cuisine in a beautiful dining tent
  •  Professional, respectful staff who speak multiple languages
  •  Ethical camel handling and insured services
  •  Sunset and sunrise camel rides included

We understand that this option may not suit every budget, but we believe it’s far better to offer fewer tours than to compromise on quality or ethics. Your experience, your safety, and your peace of mind matter too much.
