About the Tour
Your tents have proper beds and their own bathrooms, and the crew is there only for you: a cook, a camel man and a helper. Meals come when you want them, and on one of the evenings the cook bakes bread in the hot sand under the fire, the way the nomads of the area still do.
You get there in two days, with a night in Zagora, and come back to Marrakech in one long drive across Lake Iriki.
Highlights
- A camp in the dunes for your group alone
- Three nights with your own cook and camel man
- Bread baked in the sand by the fire
- Camel rides and sandboarding
- Telouet, Aït Benhaddou and the Draa Valley on the way

Questions About This Tour
How is this different from a shared luxury camp?
At a normal camp you share the dining tent and the fire with other guests. Here the whole camp is yours.
Is it worth it for two people?
It costs more for a couple than for a family or group, since the crew and tents are the same. Ask us for both prices.
What is a luxury camp like?
Large tents with proper beds and a private bathroom with a shower. Dinner and breakfast are served at the camp. Tell us if you have a camp in mind and we check availability.
What should I pack?
Light clothes for the day, a warm layer for the desert night, a hat, sun cream and a small bag for the camp. Your main luggage stays in the vehicle.
