Tour description

This 3-day adventure is a unique blend of camel trekking, camping under the stars, and learning the ancient skills of the nomads. Starting from Desert Camp Chraika, the journey leads you through golden dunes to remote campsites, where guides cook over open fire and bake traditional bread in the hot sand. Along the way, you’ll discover the silence of the desert, learn the basics of navigation and desert living, and at night, gaze at a sky filled with more stars than you ever imagined.

What you’ll see during the trip

Private bivouac among the dunes

A secluded desert camp nestled between towering dunes, perfect for stargazing and silent desert nights.

Slow-cooked tagines

Savor traditional Moroccan tagines simmered slowly over open flames — tender meat, sweet vegetables, and rich spices creating flavors only the desert can offer.

Saharan bread baked in hot sand

Taste the most authentic bread of your life — kneaded by hand and baked directly in the hot desert sand. Its smoky aroma and crispy crust tell the story of centuries-old desert traditions.

Bertam Dunes

Explore the mesmerizing Bertam Dunes — waves of golden sand stretching as far as the eye can see. Feel the crunch beneath your feet, watch the wind sculpt new shapes every moment, and let the vastness of the desert fill you with a sense of freedom and wonder.

Activities during the trip

Stargazing

Far from city lights, the sky opens up completely. You’ll see the Milky Way glowing above you and constellations shining with incredible clarity.

Walk across the dunes

Walking on the dunes at sunrise or sunset is pure freedom — the colors, the silence, and the endless horizon will stay in your memory forever.

Wild camping experience

Spend the night under a million stars, surrounded by the silence of the Sahara. Feel the magic of the desert as you fall asleep by the fire and wake up to the first light dancing on the dunes. It’s not just camping — it’s a moment of complete connection with nature.

Trekking in the caravan

Travel through the desert the traditional way — alongside a caravan of camels led by their caretakers.

Camel ride

Travel the way nomads have for centuries — gently swaying on camelback across golden sands. It’s the most authentic and peaceful way to explore the Sahara, perfect for photos and quiet reflection.

Where you’ll stay

Discover the places where you’ll unwind after a day full of adventure — from wild desert camps to luxurious stays under the stars.

Desert Camp Chraika

Desert Camp Chraika is a comfortable, intimate desert camp featuring spacious tents with beds and bathrooms, hot showers, and evening gatherings around the fire with live music, located about 60 km from the famous Erg Chigaga dunes.

Cozy desert camp

The stationary camp at Erg Chigaga offers comfortable tents with real beds, warm blankets, and freshly prepared meals. The bathroom with a hot shower is located in a separate building and is shared with other guests. In the evening, the hosts gather around the campfire to play and sing traditional Saharan songs — the desert blues.

Wild Camp

Guides choose the best place to camp depending on the weather, wind direction, terrain, availability of firewood, and the position of the sun (shade). The camp consists of a kitchen tent and participant tents — either large nomadic tents that can accommodate up to 4 people or classic smaller tents.

The place is magical, the catering on site is excellent! I had an excellent stay, my head still in the stars. The experience in the desert was exceptional.

A fabulous desert camp far enough away from the village to be isolated, yet accessible by a hire car. Great dinner and a lovely communal chill out area for day time.
