THE EXPERIENCE
Sahara Desert Camps: Merzouga, Zagora and Erg Chigaga
Choose your desert region and discover the possibilities for evenings, activities and camp comfort.
Not every Sahara camp has the same setting. Merzouga and Erg Chebbi are known for high dunes, Zagora and the Draa Valley for oasis scenery, and Erg Chigaga for a more remote, open desert environment.
The experience depends on the confirmed location and camp. Ask about access, tent category, bathrooms, electricity, meals and any activities before booking.
