A wonderful time in Erg Chigaga - For my daughter and me the trip to Erg Chigaga was the high point of our trip to Morocco. The car ride through the desert, the camel ride at sunset, good food, happy singing around the campfire, clean spacious tent, we enjoyed it wholeheartedly ! The view over the desert sitting on top of a sand dune.. unforgettable..

Feel the desert - This wasn't my first trip to the desert in Marocco. But this one was really great. You can feel like you are at the end of the world. Erg Chigaga is really awesome. Offroad 4x4 was the adventure in itself. The whole team was very professional and the dinner was one of the best in Morocco. As a family of four we got a nice discount. Highly recommended.

Desert Luxury - Luxury in the desert.. the tents, thick blankets for the cold at night, comfortable beds, the candle lit dinners by the chef (the food was some of the best I had in Morocco and in the middle of the desert too!!) .. the attention to detail is beyond. Erg Chigaga dunes have magic and the staff has it too. They are incredibly kind and accommodating and will answer almost any questions you have about the desert with charm. I’ll never forget my experience here. If you are searching for top notch service this is your answer ..🫶🏼🫶🏼

Amazing and memorable experience - We decided to do the shorter trip to Zagora desert and it was a fantastic family experience! Communication with the team was excellent from the beginning, staff was very friendly and helpful. Camel trekking was amazing and great fun, kids absolutely loved it. Camp was nice and basic, views were amazing, people very welcoming and friendly. Great food, evening entertainment, we slept under the stars and watched a beautiful sunrise from the dunes. Fantastic experience for adventurous people. Definitely must do thing when in Morocco.

Exciting trip to the desert! - We had a great time on the trip. We drove initially to a small town where we were shown an interesting local pottery community, and taken on a short tour that explained the process of making. We then drove (mostly off-road which was exciting) through to the desert where we were treated to an exciting 1 hour camel ride, a lovely dinner and music made by the locals in the camp. The accommodation itself was super cozy, a bit warm, but running water and a shower was an option, as well as a Communal toilet. In the morning, we had the freedom to hike and climb any dunes we wanted, after which we were provided a tasty breakfast with tea, coffee and warm milk. We finished the day with sand boarding on the dunes which was entirely free of charge and open ended. Overall I would recommend going on this tour.

Awesome dessert experience ahead - The drive with Youssef was awesome. He stopped at a pottery factory with us, we could choose when we needed a break and we had an awesome time driving through the dunes. It was bumpy but really fun. He is a very skilled driver and we always felt save. The camp is awesome with nice accommodations and good food. Real beds (1 double, 1 Single). We could choose to get a vegetarian meal and they would even have prepared vegan tajine. The Dromedar Tour was just too good. We arrived a a big dune at sunset and could watch the sun go down behind the dessert. In the morning we had time to do some sandboarding and let me tell you: Do it or you'll miss out! We are really happy to have done this and we would recommend it highly.

Amazing unique experience - 10/10 reccomend - Awesome overnight trip. We enjoyed the drive from Zagora and into the desert - the pickup was prompt and easy. The desert experience was incredible - the camel ride to the dunes for sunset (see photos) was interesting, and the dinner & tea was very tradional. The tent was very well isolated against the cold so we actually had the best night sleep of our trip in the desert! 10/10 reccomend - the pictures don't do it justice. Thanks Ismail, Omar & Rasche..
