Welcome
A luxury camp with AC/heating, built by one family in Merzouga
Merzouga Glamping sits at Rass Rmel, on the quiet western edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes. We built it ourselves, tent by tent, because we wanted guests to experience the Sahara the way we know it — as a luxury desert camp with AC/heating in Merzouga, without the discomfort that usually comes with sleeping in the dunes.
That means a real bed and a private bathroom with hot water. It means air conditioning in summer and heating in winter. And it means dinner cooked by our family, music around the fire, and someone who knows these dunes walking beside you when you ride out at sunset.
Accommodation
Four tents with AC/heating, one standard
Single Tent
A private tent for one traveller, with its own ensuite bathroom, AC/heating and a door that opens straight onto the dunes.

Our family
You are staying with us, not with a hotel group
Our family has lived beside these dunes for generations. Some of us grew up herding camels on the same sand where the camp now stands; others learned to cook the tagines you will be served from a grandmother who never wrote a recipe down.
We answer the enquiries, we serve the dinner, and we are the ones who walk you up the dune for sunrise. That is the whole difference, and it is the reason guests write to us afterwards.
Good to know
Questions guests ask before booking
We are at Rass Rmel, Merzouga 52202, on the western edge of the Erg Chebbi dunes in south-eastern Morocco. The camp is reachable by normal car — you do not need a 4x4 to get to us — and we will send you an exact pin with your booking confirmation.
Most guests drive or take a private transfer from Fes (about 7 hours), Marrakech (about 9 hours) or Ouarzazate (about 5 hours). The nearest airport is Errachidia (ERH), roughly 2 hours away, and Fes (FEZ) and Marrakech (RAK) are the main international gateways. There is also a CTM and Supratours bus service to Merzouga village. Tell us your arrival details and we will arrange a pickup.
No. You can drive right up to the camp, or we can collect you from the parking area. The camel ride is an experience we include for the sunset, not a way of getting your luggage in.
Your tent with private ensuite bathroom, dinner, breakfast, the sunset camel ride, sandboarding, live Berber music around the fire and Wi-Fi. Quad biking, buggy tours, 4x4 excursions and massage are optional extras.
Yes. Every tent has its own unit, and it matters: summer afternoons here are genuinely hot and winter nights genuinely cold. Each tent also has a private bathroom with a hot shower and universal power outlets.
There is free Wi-Fi across the camp and reasonable mobile coverage. It is fast enough for messaging, maps and sending photos home; it is not fast enough to pretend you are still at the office, which most guests count as a benefit.
Traditional Moroccan home cooking prepared by our family: harira or vegetable soup, tagines, couscous, fresh bread baked in sand, salads and seasonal fruit, with mint tea throughout. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy-aware meals are no problem — just tell us in advance.
Very. Families are a large part of who stays with us. Children get their own bed in the family or triple tent, sandboard for as long as they want, meet the camels before the ride and eat with everyone at dinner. Let us know their ages when you enquire.
