“Excellent treatment and staff”

I specifically liked the optional activities. There was an excellent choice range. Would not pass on the camels and the quads. Also sand boarding was something great. I would just recommend getting someone at the camp to help you out since it’s harder than it looks.

The staff was friendly, the tent was very spacious.

“Must do, wonderful experience”

My stay at the Sahara Wellness Camp in Merzouga was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness, which made us feel at home right away. One of the highlights was the camel ride through the Sahara dunes—an incredibly special experience. The peaceful rhythm of the camel, the endless golden landscape, and the stunning sunset made it absolutely magical. We also enjoyed delicious food, especially the flavorful tajine, which was a real highlight of the evenings. The camp offers a perfect blend of comfort, authenticity, and tranquility. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and memorable desert experience.

“Great experience :) Highly recommended!”

We had a great experience staying at this desert camp near Merzouga. The organization was smooth from the beginning – we met at a hotel in Merzouga, where we could safely park our car, and were then taken by camel caravan into the desert. The ride takes around 2 hours with a stop for sunset, which was absolutely beautiful and one of the amazing highlights of the trip. The camp itself exceeded our expectations. Our tent was spacious, clean, and we were pleasantly surprised to have a private bathroom and toilet. There was Wi-Fi available and a common area where we could charge our devices, which was very convenient. Dinner was excellent (traditional tagine, soup, and dessert), and breakfast was also rich and varied. In the evening, there was a campfire with Berber music and drumming, which created a really authentic and enjoyable atmosphere. It’s important to note that while the accommodation itself is very cheap, additional services like transport to the camp and activities are charged separately. This is standard for desert camps, and in our case everything was clearly communicated in advance (and also mentioned directly in the description of the camp). We chose a package (camel ride, jeep ride to return to Merzouga, and dinner) for 55 EUR per person, which was worth it. In the morning, we watched the sunrise, tried sandboarding, and then returned by jeep – the drive through the dunes was a fun experience. Overall, a memorable stay and a unique desert experience that we would definitely recommend. Absolutely an amazing experience.

The whole experience was awesome, staff was friendly.

This is my second time coming to Sahara Wellness Camp. I liked it so much I had to come again. They are able to cater to the needs of any group. There are Yoga mats, for yoga. The food is fantastic. It is quiet here. Out of the days I have been here, I could only hear quads in the distance once. The staff are super nice and there are goats, chickens and rabbits in the back that the dog and the cats leave in peace.

“Great Affordable Glamp Site in the Sahara”

This isn't so much about the accoms but more of the activities. We had a great time with the team in the Sahara. It costs an additional EUR 60 per person for the tea break, dinner, breakfast, jeep and camel ride at the glamp site (we paid EUR 8 for a tent). Food was adequate, but do bring along a headlamp! We saw a desert mouse while dining in the semi-dark. Also a good view of the Milky Way. We went for the sunrise camel ride and it was great. We also walked to one of the highest dunes near the place for sunset. The jeep dune rides were not as wild as the rides in the dunes of Qatar. Toilet was standard, whereas the bath, which is a bonus already, is a small trickle. We left our sedan at their designated parking spot in another resort, and they took us by the jeep. They have a small open animal enclosure at the back with goats, rabbits, chickens, a dog and a cat.

Great food

The camp itself was very well prepared, tents were huge with comfy beds, bathroom facilities good. Great to sit by the bonfire every night and sing. Also nice that there were boards for sandboarding available so we could have some fun on the dunes.

We had a wonderful stay! The place has a great atmosphere — peaceful, clean, and very welcoming. The staff were friendly and always ready to help. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious and reasonably priced. Everything was well organized and comfortable. I truly recommend this place for anyone looking to relax and enjoy a great experience! 🌿✨

“Best camp Merzouga desert”

Everything's great..GREAT EXPERIENCE. If anybody is looking for a camp in the desert which give u a real desert evening..u have to choose this camp..staff,diner,rooms,beds,breakfast and position are top. We passed just one night, but the feelings we had...we really didn't want to leave. Beautiful night.

“Highly recommended! Maybe the best camp in Merzouga :)”

As it is incredibly difficult to find reliable info covering the different Merzouga camps here a detailed description (I stayed two nights): Location: the orange dunes are stunningly beautiful. You can easily hike into the dunes. Google location is accurate: https://maps.app.goo.gl/nZbr12UjdqupiCJT8?g_st=ipc Food: excellent and plenty food. Much better than what other camp’s reviews suggest! Same price as everywhere else: 15€ for each additional meal. Cleanliness: Even though being in the desert and sharing bathrooms with everyone this was still the cleanest stay I had in Morocco. Bathrooms were spotless and even smelled nice! Beds were clean! There are animals held close by and food being cooked in the semi-open, so you will find some flies buzzing about. Camp: By far more beautiful than all surrounding camps (I walked by them). It felt warm, cozy and welcoming. The others looked quite austere. Staff: very friendly and welcoming. If you are feeling antisocial their attempts to engage you might feel a bit over the top, but all in all excellent. At least two people speak English well. Activities: more or less same price as all camps. You will be informed about the package of 60€ for camel ride in, dinner, 4x4 back one day in advance. It is a bit short notice, but apparently better communicated than for most other camps. Sandboarding is free, day tour was 30/35€ pp. Don’t remember quad prices. There will be a bonfire and drumming in the evening. Duration: If you like some silence and are able to chill for a day, I’d definitely recommend two days. I added the second day spontaneously during breakfast.

“Recommended”

The staff was really nice and the experience truly special.

“Great experience in the desert”

Really nice hosts. Everybody was super friendly. The food was also really good. Can highly recommend!

Omar and the team were great hosts. Price excludes transport, a package for camel ride to the camp, dinner and transport back by jeep can be booked for 60€ per person.

This is a wild experience. The camp is well maintained with quality beds, showers and bathrooms all in the middle of the sand dunes. You can see the milky way with your bare eyes at night. In the evening there is a camp fire, singing and playing as well as a chance to speak with the Berber nomads. After booking the stay the owners reply with the options of arranged transport to the camp, dinner and transport back as well as some extra activities. All of those are paied extra per person but it's worth it. The default packet (2h camel ride to camp with sunset in the desert, dinner, 4x4 jeep ride back from the camp) is 60 Euro per person. Sandbording is free. One can pay extra to drive quads or a dune buggy but those are more expensive. The parking location in Merzouga is easy to find and a car left there will be safe for sure.

We were two friends curious about the desert and our stay at Omar and Hamid’s family camp became an experience we will never forget. From the moment we arrived we felt at home, surrounded by warmth and kindness. The desert wrapped us in its silence and calm, and during those three days it felt like time slowed down. We would have loved to stay longer. Every moment was special, sitting by the campfire under the stars, watching the sun rise and set, and wandering through the endless sand. The food was delicious and full of care, you could feel the love in every meal. Thank you, Omar and Hamid, for your generosity and for sharing your world with us. You gave us a glimpse into the beauty of the desert that will stay in our hearts. We wish you all the best and hope to return one day for another journey together.

Perfect stay in the desert! Well organised. Essy to communicate. Small camp and therefore very cosy and familiar. Very good food. Camelride fun for everyone in the family. Prices very transparent and fair. Would do this desert experience again!!

“It was one of our best experiences in Morocco!”

The staff was very friendly and the tents were clean and spacious. Dinner and breakfast were excellent and the camel riding at sunset was just perfect! We would 100% recommend this place and will definitely come back again!
