The sun is a low coin sinking behind a ridge of powder-fine sand as your camel climbs the flank of an Erg Chebbi dune. Wind scrapes the surface into delicate ripples; the late light turns them to gold. You arrive at a small cluster of private Berber tents where the night’s rhythm is set by tea, a shared meal, and the cadence of local music.

The sun is a low coin sinking behind a ridge of powder-fine sand as your camel climbs the flank of an Erg Chebbi dune.

Erg Chebbi is one of Morocco’s largest dune seas, its ridges built by Saharan winds over millennia and rising up to roughly 150 metres in places. The people who guide you are rooted in Amazigh (Berber) culture—nomadic traditions shaped by trade routes, camels, and seasonal movement across the desert.
Expect a practical mix of comforts and raw landscape: your private tent includes its own shower and WC, electricity for charging, and blankets, while the dunes outside demand sturdy footing. Activities center on a roughly one-hour camel ride out at sunset, a sunrise climb on nearby dunes, optional sandboarding, and the choice to transfer by Jeep instead of camel if preferred.
Plan for big temperature swings—warm daytime heat and crisp nights—plus loose, shifting sand that slows walking. Bring sun protection, a warm layer for early morning, and a headlamp for the short walk between tent and campfire. Respect water use, follow your guide’s route across the dunes, and leave no trace: the desert is fragile and spectacular for those who come prepared.
Each camel transfer is about one hour: one for the afternoon ride into camp and one in the morning back to your hotel; a Jeep transfer option is also included.
Yes—this option provides private nomad-style tents equipped with a private shower and WC, towels, and basic electricity for charging devices.
Sandboarding is included and suitable for beginners; instructors typically give a brief demo and the dunes offer gentle slopes for first-timers.
It’s generally family-friendly, but mounting camels requires some mobility; discuss needs when booking and infant lap seating may be required.
