Perfect honeymoon experience
We came for our honeymoon and couldn't have chosen a better place. The camel ride at sunset, the Berber music around the campfire, and the most stunning sunrise over Erg Chebbi — every single moment was perfect. Already planning to come back.

Truly authentic desert luxury
I have visited many desert camps but Original Desert Camp is on another level. The private bathroom, the quality of the bedding, the homemade Moroccan dinner — all exceptional. The location right at the foot of Erg Chebbi makes the sunrise view absolutely breathtaking.

We believe that true luxury lies in simplicity, authenticity, and a deep connection with nature. Our camp is designed to respect the environment while providing our guests with top-tier amenities.
An Oasis of Tranquility
Whether you're looking for adventure or peace, Original Desert Camp is your perfect destination. Watch the sunset over the dunes, listen to traditional Berber music around the campfire, and sleep under a blanket of a million stars.
Desert Activities
From camel trekking at sunset to quad bike adventures across the dunes — every experience is unforgettable.
Camel Trekking
Camel ride has been a mainstay of sahara desert life for thousands of years, and it is an essential activity for your desert experience. Once used to ferry precious cargo from sub-Saharan Africa to the trading ports of the Mediterranean coast, they are now your sturdy all terrain vehicles for getting around Erg Chebbi. With a bit of assistance from your guides, you'll soon be slipping into the pace of the caravanseraiat leisure to take in the spectacle and silent grandeur of the desert as you ride across the dunes. In case you plan to get to our camp by camel riding, Just let us know in advance.
Entertainment
After dinner, it seems that the love of music and storytelling runs through the veins of everyone in Morocco; and our camp staff are no exception. Join us for our nightly campfires full of song and rhythms of the desert. By the end of your visit you'll be drumming and signing along the night under the shining stars.
Quad Bikes Riding
Experience a cruise through the sand dunes of the Sahara on an ATV quad bike. Get comfortable on the bike with a brief training session, then follow your experienced guide through the oasis of Erg Chebbi and the incredible dunes around Merzouga. You can also visit a nomadic family and join them for tea to learn about this region life and culture.
Restaurants
Taking a trip into the Sahara Desert does not mean that you will miss out on the amazing Moroccan dishes you crave. The traditional Berber breakfast feast comes complete with fresh-squeezed juices, an assortment of breads, and a Berber omelet. During our ritual sun set and cocktail hour, we light the central bonfire and gather around the fire to relax. An atmospheric dinner ended with music and dozens of flickering candles dresses up the restaurant. Delicious Moroccan wines from the Kingdom's top vineyards complement your dinner. For specialized events, we also organize a dinner time fire show or over the sand dunes.
Bespoke Dinner
Imagine dining under a blanket of a million stars, deep in the golden dunes of Erg Chebbi. Our bespoke dinner experience is a private, candlelit affair set in the heart of the Sahara — just you and the silence of the desert. Our chef prepares a curated menu of traditional Moroccan and Berber dishes using fresh, locally sourced ingredients: slow-cooked tagines, fluffy couscous, roasted meats, and handmade pastries. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, a honeymoon, or simply seeking an unforgettable evening, our team arranges every detail — from table décor to live Berber music — to create a truly magical moment. Please let us know in advance so we can personalise the experience for you.
