# Our camp in the Erg Chebbi dunes

A small family camp tucked between the dunes, a short camel ride from Merzouga. Two kinds of tent, one fire, and a sky with no lights in it.

- Reached by: Camel, about 1 hour (or 4x4)
- Tents: Standard and luxury
- Power: Solar

## Two ways to sleep in the dunes

Both tents are in the same camp and share the same fire, food and view. Every group gets its own tent.

### Standard Berber tent

Wool and canvas, rugs on the sand, the way nomad families have camped for generations, with proper beds.

- Real beds with clean sheets and warm blankets
- Solar lighting
- Shared toilets and showers a few steps away
- Phone charging in the main tent

### Luxury tent

More space, your own bathroom and a terrace looking straight at the dunes.

- Double or twin beds with quality linen
- Private bathroom with hot shower and flushing toilet
- Sockets and lighting inside the tent
- Dinner served at your own table

## Life at camp

### Food

Dinner starts with harira or vegetable soup and Moroccan salads, followed by a chicken, beef or vegetable tajine (or couscous), then fruit. Breakfast is bread, msemmen pancakes, jam, honey, eggs, coffee and tea. Vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly meals on request.

### Water and bathrooms

Bottled water is always available. Standard tents share clean toilets and showers; luxury tents have their own. Water is precious in the desert, so showers are short.

### Power and signal

The camp runs on solar power. There's light in every tent and a place to charge phones. Mobile signal comes and goes, which most guests end up enjoying.

### Nights

Desert nights are cool all year and cold in winter, close to freezing in December and January. Every bed has thick blankets, and we add more when needed.

### Safety

Our team sleeps at camp and is there all night. The camp is a short drive from Merzouga, so help is never far.

### Luggage

Bring a small bag for the night. Your big luggage stays locked at our guesthouse in Merzouga, or travels to camp by 4x4 if you're in a luxury tent.
