Thank you for wanting to live the Umnya Desert Camp experience. The Geminids are the most generous meteor shower of the year. On the night of 13 December 2026 the Moon sets early and the Erg Chegaga, one of the darkest skies on Earth, is yours. Three nights, a professional astronomer, and nothing between you and the sky. Add what you would like: the total updates as you go.
Your stay
Everything below is included for the two of you.
Included in your stay
Also included: welcome tea, fire at dusk, rugs in the shared tent, backgammon and cards.
Your days
Into the dunes
Meet us in M'Hamid, then the 4x4 into the Erg Chegaga. The welcome ceremony with the nomads and tea, your tent, the fire at dusk and a first dinner under a sky with no moon.
A day in the dunes
Sunrise, a slow breakfast, sandboarding on the great dune, Berber bread baked in the sand, the camel ride at sunset. The first Geminids already cross the sky after dinner.
The night of the Geminids
The peak of the shower. After dinner, the Stargazing Night: a professional astronomer from Marrakech with professional equipment, a workshop with questions and answers all through the night, while up to 120 shooting stars an hour cross one of the darkest skies on Earth.
Breakfast and the road
A last sunrise over the dunes, breakfast, then the 4x4 to M'Hamid for your onward journey.
