About this tour
Same legendary road as the classic circuit — High Atlas, Aït Ben Haddou, the Dades Valley — but designed for travellers who want privacy where it matters most: the night among the dunes. Your tent at the Erg Chebbi camp is yours alone, with meals included along the way.
Thousands of verified travellers rate it among the very best in its category. It suits couples and anyone who loves the group adventure by day but wants real rest at night. Live availability, prices and reviews are in the booking box below.
The honest part: transport is shared (that is what keeps the price fair) and the drives are long — the privacy is in the camp, not the minivan.
