Merzouga Morocco Luxury Desert Camp is located strategically in the middle of the big dunes of the Erg Chebbi Desert. Merzouga luxury desert camps also offer a spectacular nomadic experience. It is especially unique because of the 'KHaimas', which are traditional tents made of camel skin typically used by nomadic people.

Merzouga Luxury Desert Camp is your special home in Morocco.

It demands nothing much of you but to relax and gaze at the ever-changing colors of the desert.
