    Staying at the Chegaga Berber Camp was nothing short of spectacular—a true desert adventure! From M'hamid, our guide Moubarek expertly navigated the desert to our campsite, enhancing the journey with sights of caravans and oases. The camp itself...

    This is not a luxury camp but a camp to give you a more authentic experience. We stayed in the tent (really more of an adobe hut) that had its own bathroom (there is only one). It was quite comfortable but just be aware there is no air...

    The hosts are incredible! Ali especially is an incredible guy with an incredible story, and he clearly works quite hard to give guests an enjoyable experience, including by learning languages to improve communication. The location is also hard to...

    Ali is an amazing host. The surrounding dunes are peaceful and give a sense of freedom. The living is simple but this was my highlight of 5 weeks in Morocco.

    Everything: the 60 km drive through the desert with our perfect driver Mohamed, the friendly welcome and service by our young host Mustapha, the stars at night, the sunrise over the Chegaga dunes. A perfect stay.

    Don’t come here if you want a pool in the desert. Mohammed and Ali provide a wonderful authentic experience with clean, comfortable lodging, delicious food and a lovely gently manner as they share their knowledge of the desert and Berber culture....

    Recommend a visit! The Berbers running the camp are lovely and friendly and can arrange to collect you from Mhamid (90€ for 2 in a 4x4 currently). Bumpy ride warning! They can also arrange a camel trek with healthy, well looked after camels, if...

    The location is wonderful and so is Mohammed and his staff. The food was delicious. Water for the shower is limited and the tents are simple. Please remember that you will be in the Sahara. It’s quite special that there is water at all. And...

Company info

My name is Mohamed Boulfrifi. I was born and raised in the desert, where with my family, we ran a traditional nomadic life. When I was eight years old, I moved to M'hamid - the city-grown from the great oasis, which today is the last outpost of civilization on the way to the heart of the Sahara. The life in M'hamid is much easier than in the desert But deep in my heart I will always be a Nomad. My house was and will be in the Sahara. Here I feel free, here I can be myself and give the very best of me.

Property info

This Camp is located 55 km west of M'hamid, right under the foot of Chigaga - one of the two highest Moroccan dunes. The Nomad Camp is a family campground. runned by two young brotheres, Ali and Mohamed. The camp consists of 6 haimas-bed rooms, a bigger haima that it´s used like living room and as a dining room, an area with a thatched roof, with comfortable mattresses to enjoy the outdoors next to which it´s lighted a bonfire at night, where we meet with our guests to chat, have a tea or enjoy Berber music. We also have two small buildings. One is the kitchen, and another is the common bathroom, with toilets and showers. In the showers you will have hot water, which depends on a wood-burning heater. Remember that you will be in the middle of the desert, and that we must adapt to the environment ... The electricity of the camp is supplied by a solar panel. There is light in all haimas and also plugs in the haima-salon, where you can charge your electronic devices. To reach the camp, 55 kms. from Mhamid, there is no road, but we can organize your pick up in Mhamid in an 4x4 vehicle for a small fee. The journey is about 90 minutes. Contact with us to arrange time and price.

Neighborhood info

The camp has everything that is needed to comfortably spend time and nothing that would interfere real contact with the wild Sahara. We have a huge "social" tent, where we serve traditional Berber meals. At night, the base is lighted by the bonfire and dozens of lanterns. We can provide boards to practice sandboard on the dunes, organize camel rides, and we can also organize trips for larger groups. Then our cousins and friends help us with work- they work as cooks, guides, drivers. Each of them is a true-born Berber and has nomadic roots. You can be sure that while trekking, they will find the right route even at night or during a sand storm, they are able to subdue every camel, pitch the tents and prepare a cup of tea before you untie your shoes, and in the evening, by the campfire, they will put on the memorable concert of traditional Berber music. The same team organizes treks along the Atlantic and expeditions in the High Atlas mountains. A visit to the camp can be a beautiful finale of such a trip.
