Embassies & Diplomatic Teams · Erg Chegaga · Morocco

The whole camp,
and no signal

For embassies, consulates and diplomatic teams: a working seminar, the family of a posted colleague, a delegation received away from the capital, a private celebration. When you take the whole camp, it is yours alone.

What the camp gives a diplomatic team

Six things a hotel in the capital cannot

01

The whole camp, yours alone

When you take the whole camp, the only people on site are your group and the team. No second seating, no shared lounge, nobody at the next table.

02

No network, no wifi

There is no phone network and no wifi at the camp. For a call that cannot wait, a signal can be found about twenty minutes there and back on foot. For a team whose weeks are spent on the phone, the silence is the reason to come.

03

Discretion, in writing

A non-disclosure agreement on request. No photographs of guests and nothing published during the dates of your stay. Invoicing can go through a company, a family office or a concierge service.

04

Eight tent suites, a bathroom each

Eight tent suites, each with its own bathroom and hot shower, for 2 to 18 guests and up to 20 with extra beds. See the camp.

05

One global rate

A single rate for the whole camp, set case by case against your dates and what you ask for, never per person. No figure is published; it comes in the written proposal.

06

A Bortle 1 sky

The darkest class on the scale. A night of stargazing with a professional astronomer and telescopes, in the middle of the dunes.

Four ways to use the camp

A seminar, a family, a delegation, a celebration

A team seminar. Working sessions in the morning at a long table, the dunes on foot with a nomad guide in the afternoon, dinner under the stars. With no phone network and no wifi, the agenda keeps itself.

A diplomat’s family. A posting is long and families are spread across continents. The camp takes up to eighteen guests across several generations, a tent suite per household and a bathroom in every tent.

A visiting delegation. A small group received away from the capital: the Thousand and One Nights evening, with candles set on the great dunes, music and a fire, then a night under a Bortle 1 sky with an astronomer and telescopes.

A private celebration. A farewell at the end of a posting, an anniversary, a milestone among colleagues and their families. Welcome and farewell are with the nomads, and the days hold a camel walk and sandboarding for whoever wants them.

Capacity. 2 to 18 guests, and up to 20 with extra beds, in eight tent suites with private bathrooms and hot showers.

Season. Open from September to June.

Getting here. By helicopter from Marrakech in 1 h 40, landing on the camp’s own helipad, or by road in about 8 h 45 in our 4x4s with our own drivers.

How it is priced. One global rate for the whole camp, set case by case against your dates and what you ask for, never per person. No figure is published.

Discretion. A non-disclosure agreement on request, no photographs of guests, nothing published during your dates.

Drinks. The camp is alcohol free by default. Champagne or drinks of your own can be arranged on request.

Reply. A written answer within 24 hours.

Private exclusivity · The helicopter

Why a diplomatic team takes the whole camp

Distance, quiet, and nobody else on site

Embassy and consular teams live and work close together, often in a city where everyone knows everyone. A seminar held in a hotel two streets from the office is still a seminar at the office. At the end of the road, in the Erg Chegaga, the team is simply together, with the dunes and the sky.

The arrangement is simple. One written proposal, with one global rate for the whole camp, which you can pass on through your own channels. One person coordinates with you in writing, and we answer within 24 hours. Write to the team with your dates and the number of guests.

The helicopter shortens the journey from Marrakech to 1 h 40, and the camp’s own 4x4s and drivers make the road part of the stay. The private celebrations page sets out what else is possible, and the privatisation page explains the principle of the whole camp.
