Desert Camp Chraika

Welcome to our desert camp located in a beautiful nature area of small dunes with tamarisk trees, a 20-minute walk from M'hamid village. Built from natural materials, with electricity coming from solar power, huts will keep you warm at night and cool during the day. Traditional clay-wooden huts are equipped with comfy beds, warm blankets, carpets and simple shelves for clothes. Full Moroccan breakfast is served every day and is included in the price. We also serve lunch and dinner on request. The space The camp is composed of a collection of natural clay huts - 7 guest rooms, a main hall, a lounge, restrooms and a family house - all around a central campfire and garden. We are open for individual tourism as well as groups (up to 20 persons), and have been the base-camp for lovely yoga retreats. Our neighbourhood is the beautiful, wild Sahara desert. Here you can go for long walks, let your eyes rest on the line of horizon, walk barefoot on the warm sand, admire magnificent sunsets every day, relax into the silence of the desert, pleasure of campfires and stargazing at night. The desert camp is a place where we start our Desert Stories trips. We organise tailored tours both by 4x4 and camel trekking to explore the most dramatic landscapes in this region. Our experienced guides know every path here and understand desert laws. Trips can range from 1 to 6 nights, or even longer. We love to share this incredible desert, but try to do this responsibly, with calm (not overloaded) camels, fair pay to our guides, and deep respect for the environment around us. You can contact us to know more about these journeys! Guest access We have a main hall, protected from weather, which is accessible for dining, yoga or other activities. A smaller lounge area is perfect to relax in the heat of the day. A simple rooftop gives a wide vista into the dunes and view to the edge of M'hamid. We also have a communal campfire space for tea and music under the stars. Huts have either a private toilet or shared bathrooms outside. During your stay There is always someone in the camp to help throughout your stay. In case you need anything, you can always send us a message. Other things to note Central wi-fi is provided and there is good network coverage for cellular data. Hot water comes from a boiler which we heat up on request. We have a well on the property, fuelling our taps and showers. The groundwater is a little salty, fine for washing, but we recommend bottled water to drink, brush teeth etc. We have beautiful, friendly desert cats to welcome you in the camp.
