Ali picked us up in M'hamid. We felt very comfortable in Ali's car during the approximately 2-hour drive (60 km) to the Chegaga Berber Camps. The driving service costs 900 MAD (€90) for 2 people. Ali speaks English quite well. Once you arrive at the Chegaga Berber Camp, you first move into your tent and are then served typical Moroccan tea and pastries. After that, you have free time until dinner. After the beautiful sunset, we returned to the Chegaga Berber Camp. It is highly recommended not to walk too far from the camp, otherwise you run the risk of getting lost among the sand dunes. You should definitely record your route with a GPS tracker so that you can find your way back. If you are planning a long tour into the desert, it is advisable to do so with Ali or his brother Mohamed. Dinner started with a kind of vegetable soup, followed by a very good tagine with vegetables and beef. Then there was fruit salad for dessert. Dinner costs 130 MAD (€13) per person. You can also buy water from Ali or his brother Mohamed at any time. Afterwards, a campfire was prepared and we spent the evening together. At this point, we would like to mention that you can hear many animals at night and occasionally some animals scratch at the tent wall. In the morning, there was a fine breakfast with really good scrambled eggs, bread, jam, etc. After that, you have the day at your leisure and you can do sand surfing for free, for example. Basically, there is the option of riding a camel or going on a hike. We took a walk in the desert and were served Moroccan tea and pastries in the afternoon. Basically, there is the option of showering in the communal bathroom. There are toilets, but you have to scoop the flush water yourself from a water bucket using a kind of ladle. After breakfast, it was time to say goodbye.

We had an outstanding experience at Chegaga Berber Camp. The staff were incredibly friendly, and both the breakfast and dinner were absolutely delicious. The accommodations were comfortable, with cozy beds and a great atmosphere overall. We were picked up in the village of Hamid for 90 euros round-trip, and all communication was smoothly handled via WhatsApp. There were plenty of activities to enjoy at the camp, like playing pétanque or surfing on the sand dunes. Ali was amazing—he arranged a camel ride for us and made sure everything was perfect. In the evenings, we had a fantastic time singing around the campfire with Mohamed, Ali, Mustapha, and other guests. It was one of the best experiences we’ve had all year. I highly recommend staying for at least two nights and taking a three-hour walk to the high dune to soak in the local atmosphere. It was truly a unique opportunity. Thanks to the entire team for this exceptional experience!

As for a minor downside, the water pressure in the showers was a bit low. But honestly, if you’re used to camping and outdoor trips, this isn’t really a big issue.

Pick up and drop off in M'hamid. Camel trek to Erg Gegaga. Great meals, fabulous location in the dunes.

Amazing location. Great meals. Super fun camel trip. Pick up and drop off in M'Hamid

Traumhafte Übernachtung in der Erg Chegaga Wüste. Sehr angenehme Gastgeber und eine wunderschöne Lage des Camps. Abholung in Mhamid vom Gastgeber mit einen 4x4 für 90 Euro. Ideal, wenn man auf Kamel reiten und „verkaufsfahrten“ verzichten möchte. Wilde Kamele sahen wir trotzdem auf dem Weg ins Camp.
