Aurum Dunes Luxury Camp

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

It is difficult to put into words how beautiful of an experience we had at AURUM dunes. Mustapha and his crew are absolutely wonderful and treated us so well! The camp truly puts luxury to a new level. This was my second time staying at a camp in the Sahara and this one far exceeded the last. Also, the food was above and beyond. Some of the flavours and dishes we had were unlike anything else I’ve had in Morocco. So amazing!! Our night finished with sitting around the fire, listening to music, and looking up at the stars. If you are looking for a camp to stay at in the Sahara — THIS IS THE ONE! Thank you Mustapha :)

Enjoyed our one night stay as a group in this beautiful desert camp. The food was incredible and probably the best we had in this area! The staff is incredible even provided live music for us to enjoy. They shared a sense of hospitality and adventure, the locals also help the community through their business, which is inspiring

Absolutely brilliant stay at AURUM DUNES LUXURY Camp. The location is beautiful, with views of the dunes (after taking a camel ride through them to arrive) and amazing sunrises and sunsets. Mustafa and his team are all super friendly and attentive. They make you feel very welcomed. The food was amongst the best we had in Morocco without a doubt. The evenings around the fire with percussive music was great as well, I was tempted to stay behind and spend every night drumming with the crew. Highly recommend this camp for your stay in the Sahara.

We had a fantastic time here. We stayed at a different camp the night after, but this one clearly had the edge for us.

We were warmly welcomed by the team here, all of them are incredibly friendly. It's a small camp of 8 tents and the concept is all around making you feel like at home. The tents were well furnished, looked modern and felt clean. They are located right by the dunes, you really feel like you're in the desert here. The shower was surprisingly good with hot water. We took part in the camel tour for sunrise - it was an amazing experience we can highly recommend. Lastly, the food was amazing - we didn't know what to expect at the beginning and were surprised by the quality.

If I had to note anything that could be improved, it's the power in the tents. As the camp is powered by solar energy, you can't use any devices that need lots of power (e.g. hair dryer, straighteners). There was only one USB plug to charge phones in the tent; at least a second one would have been good for us to both charge our phones over night (glad we had our power banks). There is also WiFi in this camp, phone signal was a bit hit and miss throughout our stay.

This was a truly magical experience. It was my first time camping in the desert, my first time watching the sunrise in the desert, and my first time riding a camel… We arrived quite late because we were driving from Fez, but Hassan was very kind and offered to pick us up and take us to the camp no matter how late we arrived, and the transportation would be free. At the camp, they prepared a delicious dinner for us, and we even joined a bonfire party and listened to them play drums. The next morning, we went camel riding to watch the sunrise, and after resting, we had a fresh breakfast. We all especially loved the tagine with eggs. Then we participated in other activities, saw an even more golden desert, and witnessed Sudanese song and dance. Even more interestingly, when I posted on social media, a good friend told me that she had stayed at the same camp as me a few years ago

Une (expérience) incroyable dans le désert !

Nous avons passé un séjour merveilleux au campement. La tente était propre, confortable et bien équipée, et l'atmosphère au milieu des dunes du Sahara était vraiment unique. Le prix de l'hébergement était très raisonnable compte tenu de la qualité et de l'expérience proposées.

Le transfert jusqu'au campement entraîne un coût supplémentaire ; nous avons d'abord trouvé cela un peu cher. Cependant, l'équipe nous a expliqué que ce prix couvrait le transfert en jeep 4×4 à travers le désert, le carburant, la conduite sur des pistes difficiles et la prestation du chauffeur ; nous avons donc compris la raison de ce supplément.

Nous avons également réservé une excursion en quad : une expérience fantastique qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus mémorable. Le personnel s'est montré aimable, serviable et accueillant tout au long de notre séjour.

En résumé, nous recommandons vivement ce campement si vous souhaitez vivre une belle expérience dans le Sahara à un prix d'hébergement avantageux.

Amazing experience in Sahara desert. Beautiful tent, large space. perfect service, especially dinner outdoor.(need reservation before)
They arrange us to go camp by camel, its so perfect that we arrived at sunset time. Hot water shower and toilette. I really enjoy every moment in the camp

We were on the edge of the dunes. Beautiful views all around. The tents were comfortable and the food and service exceptional thanks to Mohammed, who was an excellent host, who answered our many questions with detail and a smile. A great man.

While there are many desert camps near Merzouga and Erg Chebbi, you won’t find a better experience than Aurum dunes Luxury Camp. The room was incredible, the bathroom surprisingly luxurious, the food outstanding, and the staff did everything to make us feel like old friends. Our only regret was not spending more time here. The dunes are very special, and experiencing them at sunset and sunrise from camelback is something we will never forget also don't forget to try driving Quad bikes on the big dunes it's something we did and we loved it allot many thanks to Mohamed who organized that experience for us thank you 😊

It was an amazing experience. All the staff are amazing and make this time even better. We stayed two nights. All the rooms are super clean and the place is amazing. Located in the middle of desert. The team of Aurum dunes Luxury Camp organize all the things and we felt that all the time we don’t need to worry about anything because they are super good. The dinner and the breakfast are great as well (tip: ask for the scramble eggs. They are great). Definitely a place that we want to repeat. Special thanks to Said and Youssef to be the best people and to receive us with kindness and always attentive and ready to give us the best time. 🫶🏻
