Reviews of Erg Chebbi Starlight Camp

We had a great time and everything was above our expectations. Mohammed took great care of us, treated us to tea and biscuits/nuts/olives on arrival and also on arrival to the desert. He was in contact straight away after booking to tell us there is an extra charge of 25 Euro per person for camel to the camp. The camp was secluded in the desert and great for stargazing. We had an amazing dinner and sat around a fire for a bit. When we got back to the town we got the largest breakfast we have had during our stay in Morocco! They definitely try their best and we would recommend them 100%.

It was great location. And host was very friendly and the house was very clean and beautiful with traditional style. I really loved it.

Look at the description. Expect exactly this, and this will be solid 10/10 of your experience

the staffs are very kind, helpful and warm hearted, we got definitely a great experience-more than what we could have expected. the food was also amazing, the best we had on our way in morocco from marrakech to Tinghir--- great location...with rooms and facility that are adequate in a good sense that it is not too luxury but very comfortable. We were there for 3 days (2nights) and observed a bit how they operate / co-work on the whole experience that visitors could get, and we find them amazing ---we thought even maybe it would be great to consider in general(especially for such prices), some tipping for the camel rides, catering and the great drumming....(the camel ride before sunset +sand sliding was really worth it.) they even welcomed us to extended our stay for the time we need to wait for the evening bus to fez... for which we are super thankful.

everything works so well

We (family with 4 kids) totally loved the experience of being away from the inhabited world. We rode 1,5 hours on the camels (actually dromedaries) to reach our small camp, where our hosts had already begun cooking a lovely and abundant tajine. The camels were treated respectfully by the guide. Seeing sunset and sunrise in the sand dunes is unforgettable, the light and shadow just breathtaking. Next morning back in the hotel in Merzouga, I noticed I had lost my car key in the tent. The hotel owner did everything he could to help me get it back, which I luckily did. This trip alone was worth the flight to Morocco...

In the first part of the sand dunes, their was some rubbish like plastic bags. Please help to keep this beautiful spot clean so everyone can enjoy it as much as we did.

We got everything desert has to offer. Location in the desert is much further than other locations.

Camel ride was great, very friendly guides and food and music was nice. Campfire and desert go together very well. If they got rid of a couple of bright lights in the camp then it would be perfect, but these are easily avoided. Would recommend:-)

The bright lights

Very welcoming

This camp as exactly what we hoped for - a camp in the Sahara, sand dunes camels, remote. Our hosts were helpful. Meals were excellent especially considering its remote location. The tent was fine - we didn't come for luxury accommodation.

No issues. everything, including transport to and from the camp, was well run.

The location in the middle of the dunes is incredible! The picnic spot and the campfire were also very nice, especially during the night with a lot of stars. The food was really really good and abundant! (possibility of having it vegetarian). The staff was nice and available.

Previous reviews and the photos on here suggested they were luxury tents but what we had was just a basic tent with blankets on the floor. Very uncomfortable mattresses. There were no bathrooms like stated in the listing. No option to do any activities other than just walking (which was very nice though). Staff were super friendly but spoke no English or French. It was new years eve and we had read about music or drums but we had nothing, just the fire. We heard drums and fireworks from other camps but not this one. The owner wants you to write the review with him before leaving which may account for the high ratings. All in all it was a good experience but only really because of the location. If you can't handle a cold, uncomfortable nights sleep (in winter) or want activities and stuff in the evenings, this isn't the place. Basic at best but great experience to be in the desert.

I had an amazing stay at Erg Chebbi Starlight Camp. The tents were luxurious and the food was delicious. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I especially enjoyed the camel ride into the desert and the sandboarding. It was an unforgettable experience.

My stay at the Erg Chebbi Starlight Camp was a truly magical experience that exceeded all my expectations. This desert camp is a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Sahara Desert. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the surreal beauty of the towering sand dunes that surrounded the camp. The warm and hospitable staff welcomed me with traditional Moroccan tea, setting the tone for an unforgettable adventure. The accommodations were nothing short of remarkable. I stayed in one of the comfortable and beautifully decorated desert tents, complete with all the necessary amenities. But what truly made this stay exceptional was the opportunity to sleep under a blanket of stars. The clear desert sky provided an awe-inspiring celestial display, and I felt closer to the cosmos than ever before. The camp's activities were equally enchanting. The camel trek through the dunes allowed me to immerse myself in the desert's serene landscape. Watching the sunset and sunrise over the endless sand dunes was a spiritual experience that words can hardly describe. Dining at the camp was a gastronomic delight. The traditional Moroccan cuisine served here was a true feast for the senses, and dining by candlelight in the desert added an extra layer of magic to the experience. What truly sets Erg Chebbi Starlight Camp apart is the warmth and expertise of the staff. They shared their knowledge of the desert, its culture, and its history, making this not just a vacation but also an educational journey. If you're looking for an authentic desert adventure combined with luxury and a touch of romance, the Erg Chebbi Starlight Camp is the perfect choice. It's an experience that will stay with you long after you leave, and I can't wait to return for another night under the starlit desert sky."

Exceptional We loved our stay at Erg chebbi starlight camp ! We stayed in the private camp and our tent was absolutely beautiful! The food was excellent too. We loved being able to sit outside late into the night and watch the stars. The whole atmosphere was extremely romantic, unique and beautiful. We also woke up early for a sunrise camel ride, one of the best experiences I've ever had. It was absolutely breathtaking to see the sun rise from the top of a sand dune. The staff were extremely attentive and kind and we couldn't have enjoyed ourselves more! ! Despite the fact that Merzouga is far from the big cities, it is 100% worth the trip to the desert!

Everything perfect.

Unforgettable experience in the Sahara desert! The guys are extremely nice and welcoming, I can go on and on about their hospitality! They can accommodate all your needs. Camel? Sure! Jeep ride? No problem! ATV? Here it is! The tents are very nice and comfortable, the food is tasty, the drummers are super entertaining! It's an amazing immersive experience among the sand dunes. Not mentioning the breathtaking view of the sunset and the sunrise!!! Suggest to step outside the camp at night (there are some little chairs and puffs to sit on) to see the starry sky and make a wish upon a shooting star. I would highly recommend this tour! We've made remarkable memories here
