Welcome to The Sahara!
Ahlan means “welcome” – and Hocin and his team will make you so welcome that you will think of this as your home. And it is!
Our ten tent bedrooms are designed with charm and comfort in mind. Think big beds and fresh linens topped with snuggly blankets.
Expect high quality, home-cooked meals made from fresh locally sourced ingredients and served in the atmospheric dining tent.
By day there are a selection of enticing sitting areas to relax in and by night, under the moon and stars, a cosy fireplace to enjoy.
Our Story
Our spiritual home deserves to be taken care of the way a parent would a child. In a world that too often puts profit before principle, we have put our hearts and souls into creating a beautiful eco desert camp in Erg Chegaga just for you.
Our beautiful camp is owned by Hocin who was born in the desert and whose family come from the nearby dune of Erg Smar.
Private Tents and prices
Each sumptuous tent is different and boasts huge beds with cosy seating areas. Well maintained shared shower and toilet facilities are located just a few steps from your tent.
Tents can accommodate up to 4 people and are priced accordingly.
Each tent also has its own individual patio area with stunning views of the soft golden dunes.
Getting Here
Ahlan Camp is located in the M'hamid Desert in the south of Morocco. It is nestled beneath the tallest dunes of Erg Chegaga, at the heart of the Iriqui National Park of Morocco.
We can provide the 4WD transport required to get from the town of M'hamid to our camp in Erg Chegaga.
To find out your travel options, contact our travel planner for advice.
Activities
For those who wish to do more than sit and soak in the natural beauty of the Sahara we provide a range of activities in the dunes.
These include guided hiking with picnic lunch, camel trekking, sand-boarding, sunset/sunrise vantage points and star gazing.
Tours of Morocco
If you wish your stay with us to be part of a multi day tour of Morocco, we are able to offer this service through our friends at Walking with Nomads. They have several years experience in organising and operating tours of Morocco and will be able to advise you on your options
When to stay
Ahlan Camp is open from 1 September until 15 June.
We close for the summer months due to the heat and to ensure that we have time to complete maintenance and upgrades on our camp.
Time your stay for more comfortable weather between mid September through the end of April.
In January and February, it’s common to see new-born camel calves. For photographers, the winter months (December - February) provide the best light conditions and are perfect for capturing the landscapes due to sun sitting low in the sky. Winter sun. Nights are cold, yet days warm and clear.
