Erg Chigaga Luxury Camp

Our luxury desert camp in the Erg Chigaga dunes has its own website. This page explains how it fits into a private tour from Marrakech.

The Erg Chigaga Luxury Camp is our desert camp in the Erg Chigaga dunes, and it has its own website: sahara-desert-camp.com. The camps, the facilities, the activities and the booking form are all there, so we do not repeat them here. This page is about the other half of the journey: how to get to Erg Chigaga from Marrakech, and how the camp fits into a private tour.

The camp in a few lines

The camp site describes four kinds of stay: a main camp of traditional nomad tents with a shower and toilet block, a luxury camp of five ensuite tents, a private camp of four tents for a family or a small group, and a single tent set apart for two. Rates and availability are on the camp’s own pages, which are the right place to compare them.

Why Erg Chigaga

Erg Chigaga lies beyond the town of M’Hamid, and it is reached by 4×4 or on camel. That extra effort is the reason it is quieter than Merzouga’s Erg Chebbi, which has a paved road to the dunes and more camps. If you are choosing between the two, our guide to Erg Chebbi and Erg Chigaga explains the difference, and the page on the Erg Chigaga area shows where it sits.

Getting there with a private tour from Marrakech

Our private tours leave from Marrakech, cross the High Atlas and follow the road through Ouarzazate and the Draa Valley to M’Hamid, before the last stretch into the dunes. You can choose the length that suits you, from the 3 day Erg Chigaga desert tour to longer routes and camel treks. See all of them on our page on desert tours from Marrakech, or read about camel trekking if you want to arrive on foot and camelback.

If you would like the luxury camp for your desert night or nights, say so when you request your quote. We will confirm availability and give you one price for the whole trip.

Which website should you use?

Whichever you choose, the team that answers is the same, and every trip we run is private.
