Who comes to stay with us, wakes up to the view of sand dunes, enjoys Moroccan breakfast served in warm morning sunshine and may participate in many activities.

   Great camp.I stayed there for several days and was going by myself for walks in the beginning of the desert.There are dunes already there.If you want to go to bigger dunes they can organize that for you.Food was good. I was eating breakfast (included in the price of the stay), plus dinner.In between i was just chilling and going for walks. Enjoying the silence and the beauty of the desert.At night, after dinner, they would make a fire and it was the opportunity to talk, learn about the nomad life and meet other travellers as well.The room/hut was very clean.When i arrived at Mhamid bus station, they had arranged a tuk-tuk for me, to bring me to the camp.There was a little misunderstanding with the price of the dinner. I was given a price on the chat of Airbnb, prior to my arrival, then another one when i was there.I reminded the agreement we had on the chat and all was good. It was solved without problem.I will not hesitate to come backAll in all great experience

   …your desert story starts here!Most beautiful camp and also very comfortable with everything you need. Beautiful dunes around where you can walk the whole day and just be fullfilled. Agata and Mohamed where so sweet and helped with everything. Thanks for that story!

   Very pleasant stay in the camp with Mohamed and Agatha. It was one of the best stays during my Morocco sightseeing tour, mainly because of the hosts and their hospitality and overall atmosphere. The hosts also arranged a trip to Erg Chigaga with a visit to the oasis and the nomads. I recommend to others. But the camp operator at Erg Chigaga should fix the unusable/unsafe sandboarding equipment...

   Amazing camp right at the door to the Sahara. Mohamed and Agata were very hospitable and between them have a great understanding of the area and the culture. We enjoyed great Moroccan food and learned a lot about the Sarahawit and Berber culture.

   This was the best part of our trip to Marrakech. Just book it without any questions. Desert is an another kind of experience and you should know what you want to do before you arrive to Mhamid. We really had a difficult time to choose what to do in the desert but Agata and Mohammed helped us the find the best possible way just for us. Dont hesitate to go Desert Camp Chraika. It was simply the best.

   Mohamed and Agata’s desert oasis was nothing short of visually spectacular, and completely comfortable. Pair that with their outstanding hospitality (driving my partner and I to and from the bus station, bringing us tea and smoothies at random, taking us on an impromptu tour of the old town kasbah, entertaining us around the fire, arranging a sunset camel ride, etc.) and with the best meals we’ve had in our extended stay in Morocco— we had an experience that words cannot do justice, you’ll just have to see for yourself. Also a shoutout to Mohamed’s younger brother Mustafa; the sweetest desert guide we could have asked for. Do not hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed!

   This is by far one of the best experiences you can have. Everything was super clean, amazing hospitality...and Mohamed and Agata help to coordinate desert trips of all sorts (highly recommend to take them up on the offer). They helped arrange a taxi for me as well to and from the airport and it was super easy getting to their place. This is a place I definitely want to revisit in the future. You should go!!

   We had the best time at Mohamed and Agata amazing camp. Staying there is a unique experience which we would definitely recommend to anyone traveling Morocco. In summer it’s too hot to sleep inside, so you’ll leave your bags in your room and Sleep outside on the beds while looking at the stars. Mohamed drove us whenever we needed to the village, they cooked for us breakfast, lunch and dinner.We loved the camp itself, the people there, the atmosphere, the thousands litres of tea, the delicious tajine, the frozen water to survive the 48 degrees... Also, we would totally recommend letting Mohamed organising a tour to the big dunes and a camel walk on the dunes.We truly hope to be back in winter ☺️

   Where do I start! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left, our trip was easy and amazing. Mohammed and Agata cherish their guests and truly offer a fantastic experience. If you’re looking for an adventure or just a break away you will not be disappointed. The food was lovingly made by our now good friend Mustafa and in camp there is everything you need from shampoo in the showers to WiFi (if you want it) it’s very clean and stylish and all you have to do is ask if you need anything. The desert trip was organised with everything included and it will touch your heart to feel their hospitality. You will leave with good friends in the desert and definitely want to return. I recommend you don’t take so much stuff as you won’t need it when camping on the desert and prepare yourself for long walking days to start but great peaceful resting moments after. The food is traditional and prepared beautifully but remember you are still camping so it will be the best you can get with what you have. Even in the midst of a sandstorm we had a lovely rice dish prepared by Mustafa as he made sure our needs were met with enthusiasm and love. ‘No problem’ is a constant repetition and you will really feel looked after. Evenings of talking and great food and laughs. Berber hospitality is genuine and the tea is fab, Get to know your guides at the first instant and you will find these people are warm and friendly and loving. We will definitely be returning to our friends in the desert As soon as we can x
