Chegaga Berber Camps

Berber style basic camp with everything you need Ali,Mohammed ,Hassan all very accommodating ... Amazing dinner.. Very chill .

Very relaxing accommodation and the staff are great Ali,Mohamed and Hassan. Great food and staff are accommodating.

Easy to arrange pick-up from M'Hamid for ~2hr transfer. Camp is in the dunes (near the edge). Just stayed a single night to get the feel of the desert - stars, freezing cold at night (in February), fantastic experience watching a sunset and dawn over the dunes. Clean and comfortable in the tents. Excellent meal served in the evening.

Ali picked us up in M'hamid. We felt very comfortable in Ali's car during the approximately 2-hour drive (60 km) to the Chegaga Berber Camps. The driving service costs 900 MAD (€90) for 2 people. Ali speaks English quite well. Once you arrive at the Chegaga Berber Camp, you first move into your tent and are then served typical Moroccan tea and pastries. After that, you have free time until dinner. After the beautiful sunset, we returned to the Chegaga Berber Camp. It is highly recommended not to walk too far from the camp, otherwise you run the risk of getting lost among the sand dunes. You should definitely record your route with a GPS tracker so that you can find your way back. If you are planning a long tour into the desert, it is advisable to do so with Ali or his brother Mohamed. Dinner started with a kind of vegetable soup, followed by a very good tagine with vegetables and beef. Then there was fruit salad for dessert. Dinner costs 130 MAD (€13) per person. You can also buy water from Ali or his brother Mohamed at any time. Afterwards, a campfire was prepared and we spent the evening together. At this point, we would like to mention that you can hear many animals at night and occasionally some animals scratch at the tent wall. In the morning, there was a fine breakfast with really good scrambled eggs, bread, jam, etc. After that, you have the day at your leisure and you can do sand surfing for free, for example. Basically, there is the option of riding a camel or going on a hike. We took a walk in the desert and were served Moroccan tea and pastries in the afternoon. Basically, there is the option of showering in the communal bathroom. There are toilets, but you have to scoop the flush water yourself from a water bucket using a kind of ladle. After breakfast, it was time to say goodbye.
