Aurum Dunes Luxury Camp

We had an amazing stay at Aurum dunes luxury camp back in May. The staff did a great job taking care of us. From the food, sunset camel ride to the desert 4x4 excursion it was all a blast. They also planned our pickup from Marrakech and drop off in Fes. This was all facilitated by our awesome driver Adil. He was reliable, knowledgeable, drove safely and spoke great English.

Amazing experience. We camel trekked for around 1.5 hrs to get there and were met with a lovely mint tea and snacks. The tent was gorgeous and big enough for our family of four. We were lucky enough to get a tent right on the edge of the property so stargazing was spectacular and we had a ten second walk to watch the sunrise! The campfire and dancing was so much fun.

The camel ride took 1.3 hours from Merzouga to the sunset point where we stopped for 45 minutes to see the beautiful sunset in the desert. 1.3 hours is hard on a camel and you should be in a good condition to do it. After the sunset we were taken to our tent which had no aircon. So, we had no heating from there. There was some heating from a device but the room stayed very cold for the night. . The dinner was excellent and the breakfast was okay. There was no heating in the dining room. To go back to Merzouga we used the 4x4 car of the camp. It was very nice to ride over the dunes. For a better desert ecxperience you should visit the Sahara in April or May. December and January are too cold

Absolutely a once-in-a-lifetime experience! first you start with a 1.5-2.5 hour camel trek through the Merzouga Dunes (spectacular) and you end up at the camp site. Food (Breakfast and Dinner) and Music was excellent! I never ate so much in my life; very filling for sure! Room had hot showers and full flushing toilets; including the bed so amenities were excellent compared to many hotels in Marrakesh or Fez especially being in the heart of the sahara desert for sure. If you stay here for more than one night, recommend doing dune boarding and they have boards outside to do; fun and also tons of camels roaming around too, approach with respect and caution if you are going to pet them.

The wifi and cell signal is not the greatest here but knowing you’re in the middle of the desert, you would focus more on the experience itself.

They will take your luggage for you and will be there by the time you finish the camel trek.

Absolutely BEST stay in Morocco! Sunset camel ride, fabulous lodging and INCREDIBLE food and entertainment!

Der Aufenthalt im Aurum Dunes war das Highlight unserer Marokko-Reise! Das gesamte Team hat sein Bestes gegeben, um unseren Aufenthalt unvergesslich zu machen. Es war eine wirklich fantastische Erfahrung! Ich wünschte, wir hätten noch eine Nacht bleiben können.

Unser Aufenthalt war sehr angenehm, komfortabel und herzlich. Die Zimmer waren sehr sauber und gemütlich. Auch warmes Wasser zum Duschen war jederzeit vorhanden.
Das Essen war unglaublich lecker. Es wurde zwar etwas anders zubereitet als die traditionelle marokkanische Küche, aber es wurden weiterhin typisch marokkanische Zutaten verwendet.

So beautiful and accommodating. We went as a group and a family were in the camp at the same time. The kids were young and wanted to go to bed during dinner time and were crying. The owner brought out a large cushion to help the parents out. Dinner were 4+ courses. Music was interactive and so fun. Great q+a time about Berber and nomadic life. The camels are very sweet. Sitting there feeling the desert come at you with wind and all is incredible.

Riding camels to the luxury camp at sunset was peaceful and beautiful. The camp itself was clean, comfortable, and very well set up. Dinner under the stars with music and dancing made the night unforgettable. Riding back by quad bike in the morning was an exciting way to end the trip. A perfect mix of relaxation, culture, and adventure!

Alojarme en AURUM DUNES LUXURY CAMP fue, sinceramente, una de las experiencias más inolvidables que he vivido en Marruecos. Todo fue exactamente como esperaba, e incluso mejor. Desde el momento en que llegamos, cada miembro del equipo nos hizo sentir realmente bienvenidos, casi como si estuviéramos visitando a nuestra propia familia y no alojándonos en un hotel.
Hassan, el propietario, es una de las personas más humildes y amables que puedes conocer. No se limita simplemente a dirigir el campamento: se sienta contigo, conversa y se asegura personalmente de que no te falte nada. Organizó para nosotros un paseo en camello, una experiencia en 4×4 por las dunas e incluso nos llevó a un lugar espectacular para disfrutar de una puesta de sol inolvidable. Su hospitalidad, por sí sola, hace que este lugar sea realmente especial.
También queremos dar las gracias especialmente al Sr. Saiid, cuya cálida sonrisa nunca desapareció de su rostro. No importaba lo que le pidiéramos —incluso cuando quisimos que nuestras comidas fueran servidas en diferentes lugares del campamento—, siempre aceptó todo con amabilidad y alegría. Su energía hizo que nuestra estancia fuera aún más mágica.
Si buscas una experiencia auténtica y única en el Sahara, AURUM DUNES LUXURY CAMP es, sin duda, una elección perfecta. Gente maravillosa, un servicio excelente y recuerdos que llevarás contigo para siempre
¡Muy recomendable

Ich war bereits 2019 hier, und auch sieben Jahre später hat der Besitzer Hassan die Zelte sogar noch verbessert.
Alles ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet, komfortabel und befindet sich in einer außergewöhnlichen Umgebung.
Der Kamelritt zum Camp war wunderschön (schade ist nur, dass es inzwischen mehr Touristen gibt, mit Quads und anderen Angeboten). Wir haben den Sonnenuntergang genossen und anschließend zu Abend gegessen.
Das Abendessen war reichhaltig und sehr gut zubereitet. Hassan gibt sich große Mühe, seine Gäste einzubeziehen – sowohl mit Berber-Tänzen und Gesang am Lagerfeuer als auch mit interessanten Erklärungen über die Sterne und den Nachthimmel.
Besonders schön war die Teezubereitung zum Sonnenaufgang. Dieses Erlebnis sollte man sich wirklich nicht entgehen lassen.
Das Frühstück war sehr großzügig und der Preis für all das war geradezu unglaublich günstig.
Ich kann diesen Ort ohne jeden Vorbehalt empfehlen – man sollte einfach hinfahren!

From the exact pickup to the drop off the experience was perfect. Mojamed was our driver and we can’t express how much fun we had. Pickup straight outside our riad in Marrakech and so many wonderful stops along to the dessert. He was so knowledgeable and entertaining the most authentic experience possible. The camp itself is out of a Disney movie. The sunrise in the dunes is so extremely beautiful and from the entertainment to food and service everything was perfect. Definitely have to do a tour as we felt that we were able to learn so much about the culture and lifestyle in the dessert. If you have time consider a three night trip since the dessert is far! We will be back for sure

an out of the ordinary experience. We stayed 2 nights and our host-Hassan took very good care of us. He woke us up at the perfect time to look at sunrise (without wasting too much time waiting). He woke us up to look at the starry starry night sky before sun comes up (where there were many shooting stars). He brought us on a local tour to visit the nomads, plantations, African music group and we even had lunch at his own house (cooked by his wife). During the day trip, Hassan displayed his 4x4 driving skill up and down the sand dunes and it was really fun. He even brought us to a local mining site to pick some volcanic rocks and quartz. Back at the camp, we had the best Moroccan food (both breakfast & dinner) in a fine dining way at the camp itself. The tent itself is amazing. There’s hot water, toilet, hot shower and USB charging. And the beds were really comfortable. The camp did come with WIFI but it wasn’t that strong. Well, it’s the desert. It’s definitely one of our best experience in Morocco ever and extremely value for money compared to others. I do highly recommend to stay with them if one is visiting the Sahara from Morocco.

En mi segunda vez yendo a este campamento. Hassan es el mejor anfitrión que se puede tener. Tiene un gran equipo de trabajo. La cena y el desayuno de excelente calidad. Las instalaciones están super bien. Vamos a volver.

Geweldig kamp! Mohamed is een geweldige gastheer en het is eigenlijk al de moeite waard om hier te verblijven alleen al om hem te ontmoeten en met hem te praten. We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad.
Als je je afvraagt hoe de hele ervaring eruitziet: je wordt opgehaald met een Land Cruiser en maakt een geweldige rit door de zandduinen van de Sahara naar het kamp. De tenten zijn ruim en beschikken over een eigen douche en toilet. Heerlijk eten en ontbijt, muziek, een kampvuur en Berberse thee.
Je kunt gemakkelijk te voet de duinen in wandelen of een kamelenrit maken om de zonsondergang of zonsopkomst te bekijken. Het personeel is gastvrij en doet er alles aan om aan je wensen tegemoet te komen.
Waka waka!

I came to Morocco with my sister to celebrate my 23rd birthday. Mohamed and his camels were amazing, don’t miss your chance to meet Bob Marley. Manager Sa’id and the rest of the staff were amazing, we got to ride camels in the dunes to our camp, stargaze and some off roading. You can never forget the after dinner show with music and dancing, everyone was kind and inclusive. I would give this place 10 stars if I could. Chef Mohamed certainly knows what he’s doing. If you get a chance to ride in the back of the truck while cursing the rusty red dunes you must. Inshallah I will be back soon to have another great trip to Morocco.

Todos os funcionários são muito atenciosos, em especial o Mohamad que nos acompanhou desde o primeiro momento, pois mesmo antes da nossa chegada foi muito atencioso. A música ao redor da fogueira e demais detalhes fizeram da estadia uma experiência excelente.

Nice experience riding the camel to the camp although the camel driver is not very good at taking pix. You have to ask him to let you down for some iconic shots. It is very hard to take good pix while trekking w a camel.

The dinner was delicious and the tent had warm shower and electricity, but WiFi was almost nonexistent. Even if my sim had reception bar, there was no reception. Expect to e-detox 🤣. If you are as lucky as we were to catch the only 2 raining days in the desert per year, you might wish to have booked a longer stay to catch some amazing pix in the sunshine. I believe the highest dune in the Moroccan desert,150m, is just in front of the camp which doesn’t take long to climb, probably an hour in total if you are fast.

This camp was amazing, further away from the congestion of the other camps in the area and very peaceful. Muhammad, Ali, and Abdul were excellent hosts and amazing with our children. We felt very welcome and this camp was one of the highlights of our long trip in Morocco, because of all the people working there. I would also highly recommend the trip to the local village and town.
