Those seeking relative solitude in Erg Chebbi will be well served by the Original Desert Camp. Those mentioned above

The Original Desert Camp is a rather small (6 tents) camp. We liked that very much. During our stay in mid-March, we were the only guests. The illusion of some solitude was exactly what we were looking for. Therefore, we got what we wanted.

  • Although this camp is very small, it is surrounded by large other camps. At night, you can hear generators running, at sunrise, during the day, and at sunset, quads also pass by very close to the camp. We found this noise annoying. Despite being in the desert, there is quite a bit of light pollution at night, which affects the viewing of the stars. The transfer to the camp is way too expensive at 60 euros. However, considering the costs for accommodation, transfer, and breakfast/dinner as a package, it is okay.

Bring your alcohol with you.

Every wish was fulfilled, everything was organized without worries - snowboarding in the desert, camel ride, or an organized quad bike ride through and over the dunes.

Amazing stay!

Everything! The location of the camp is superb as it is right next to the dunes that one can easily access. The food was excellent and the evening performance by the fire was very entertaining as well. The staff at the camp is very friendly and made us feel at home. Their hospitality is excellent. The tent has all the basic facilities and there are only a few tents that give a quiet private feeling without a lot of people.

Perfect desert experience!

Beautifully set up. The staff were amazing, Tris is the perfect host. An abundance of food. The camp is so well placed between dunes, making you feel more isolated in the best way. There are other camps around, so I prefer not seeing them while you are in the camp. Perfect experience!
