We had a wonderful time with Mohammed and his friends on the outskirts of the Sahara desert! From the warm greeting given to us at the hotel to the 5 star accommodations at the luxurious tent camp our entire experience couldn’t have been better!
I go every year on a road trip with my two boys (now 16 & 18) and this year we chose to drive around Morocco. We had read about Erg Chebbi being at the edge of the Sahara and wanted to experience a desert night under the stars. We took a 75 minute camel ride from the edge of the desert outcropping to the tent camp; we must have traversed 25 or 30 sand dunes to get there. After dinner our guests regaled us with a traditional Moroccan drum and dance skit; both my boys took turns joining in on the drum set!
In the morning we had a solid breakfast before sand boarding for an hour and then heading off to our next city destination (Midelt). If we ever came back again we wouldn’t change a thing!
