In the midst of the desert, there lies an unexpected oasis, a refuge of peace and tranquillity where fauna and flora may flourish. Frogs and turtles dwell quietly in the oueds, surrounded by water and rocks, in this paradise. The Agafay Desert is distinguished by the fact that it is composed of rocks rather than sand. Although its white dunes give the appearance that you are in the Sahara sands. When you book with an account, you will be able to track your payment status, track the confirmation and you can also rate the tour after you finished the tour.
Offering a restaurant, Merzouga luxury desert camps is located in Merzouga. Featuring a bath, private bathroom also comes with a bath or shower and a bidet. We visited the luxury camp at Erg Chigaga in April with morocco desert camping G adventures tours. A fabulous experience riding very well behaved and trained camels in the desert. Even though we are seniors, we were able to easily ride the camels and enjoy the breathtaking landscape.



And if you follow me on Instagram, you might have seen my stories from our recent stay at Madu Luxury Desert Camp. Since its location is ideal for hiking, you can discover many interesting desert sceneries within a short walking distance of the campsite. We want to maintain comfort, in work and hygiene, but eg. Guests in the traditional Berber tents will have access to the nearby shared western toilet facilities.
You won’t need to miss out on this incredible experience by visiting in the summer. Highly recommend this experience with the camel ride in to the camp. This experience exceeded our expectations - it really is a luxury camp - the tent room was spacious and had a shower, flushing toilet and wash basin. This was truly an amazing place, first night of two in the desert at two different camps and this did not dissapoint. Camel ride to the camp was amazing and luxury is correct. Excellent dinner, top notch tent, beautiful lamdscape and grounds.

It was awesome when I initially got on, but after about 30 minutes, my crotch area hurt really bad – haha. I had to get myself together and deal with the pain because the kids loved it and they were having such a great time riding. Next time I’ll pass on the camel ride and take the 4×4 all the way to the camp site instead and save myself the pain – ?. Visiting Khamlia was so nice, the kids interacted with and took photos with the locals. I love to see how these kids bond and make friends with new kids all over the world even when they don’t speak the same language. There are many variations of tours offered, group tours and private tours.
During the morning, you can spend some time exploring Essaouira and have lunch in the city. During the evening, you will be taken to Marrakesh for the last couple of days of the trip. You will have to bid the mountains goodbye, as today you will be visiting the Portuguese town of Essaouira. This coastal town offers many charming delights, including the Gnaoua Festival of World Music. If you are visiting in June, this is a must-visit event.
Traditional carpets are adorned the floors of the camps and the handcrafted furniture are well-decorated to compliment your preferences. The sleeping tents include the blend of authentic Moroccan design and the modern to submerge you in this exceptional region of Africa. Erg Chebbi are taller and absolutely more awe inspiring seeing these tall mountains of sand raising out of nowhere. They are easier to reach so great for families with kids or elderly.

Dinner followed by traditional nomadic music and dancing around the campfire and night under the stars or in our luxury tents. During the cooler months, you may also have the option to camel trek to the camp once you get to the Merzouga desert. Since we were visiting in July however, when temperatures are at the highest, our camel trekking was offered during sunset and sunrise when it is much cooler. Our sunset camel trek through the gorgeous undulating sand dunes was one of the most memorable experiences from our trip.
Mohamed, a native of M’Hamid, is an important promoter and supporter of M’Hamid el Ghizlane, the Sahara Desert and tourism in Morocco. His experience is varied, as the owner of desert camps, hotels, riads, transport and tour agencies, and acquiring and selling the unique fossils and stones of Morocco. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the way and continue to your campsite deep in the dunes. Enjoy dinner and spend the night under the stars or in our mobile tents. Arrive in time for a sundowner over the high dunes followed by dinner, music and night under the stars or in luxury tents.

I’m a single woman too, so we have to find tour companies that are safe for women travelers. The Sahara camel trek/camping was definitely the highlight! Waking at sunrise on the dunes was absolutely beautiful. Standard camps provide camel treks to and from camp and some migh offer possibility of sand boarding for additional cost. Well, there is big differences between standard and luxury camping. Though needless to say some luxury camps are really not luxury, but rather transition between standard and luxury in spite of calling themselves luxury.
Riding the camels isn’t necessarily difficult in the sense that running up a hill is, but it’s uncomfortable, and we were all VERY sore by the end of our trek. The tour is also simply tiring, the pace is very quick and no one got fantastic sleep. As far as time, I can certainly see someone wanting a second night in the desert, though we were very sore and exhausted by the end of our time and happy to head back to town. We did include a couple of the extra stops such as Ait Benhaddou, but not enough to justify taking up more of our time in Morocco for it. We did go through our hotel to book our tour, but I don’t recommend it–we overpaid because of doing that.
The standard Merzouga desert camps are designed for travelers who don’t need the level of luxury provided in our Morocco luxury desert camps. For toilets and showers, they are shared with all the camp. It seems like pretty much every hotel in Merzouga offers their own camel treks into the desert and overnight stays at their own private desert camps.
