A night among the Erg Chebbi dunes is the moment our travelers remember most. In Merzouga we offer two kinds of camp, so you can choose by budget and travel style.

Reference prices, November 2026. Camel and horse rides are priced per person.

Standard camp: €70 per person

Simple, clean Berber tents in the open desert. The most authentic and affordable option: dinner by the fire, traditional music and a sky full of stars. Great for backpackers, families and anyone who wants the experience without frills.

Spacious, decorated tents with large beds and a private bathroom inside. The option we recommend for honeymoons, anniversaries and travelers who want comfort while still sleeping in the dunes.

How do you get to the camp?

The most beautiful way is by camel at sunset (€30 per person per hour). You can also arrive by 4×4 if you travel with small children, heavy luggage or prefer not to ride.

What to pack

  • Warm clothes: from November to February nights are cold.
  • A flashlight or charged phone, plus a power bank.
  • A small backpack — big suitcases stay in the vehicle or hotel.
  • Sunglasses, sunscreen and a scarf for wind and sand.
