A Sahara camp for retreat leaders from Hong Kong
Studios, gyms, coaches and the groups who follow them: the whole camp for your community, with nothing to check
Why the Sahara
Hong Kong has a dense community of studios, gyms and coaches whose members work long weeks and want a real break. The Erg Chegaga is the opposite of the city: a private camp in the dunes of southern Morocco, sixty kilometres of desert piste beyond the last paved road, with no wifi, no network and, once you privatise it, no other guests.
Privatised, the camp is yours alone, from two to eighteen guests and up to twenty with extra beds. You bring the programme; we run the camp, the meals, the vehicles and the safety on the ground.
Who brings a group
Built for the people who lead
Yoga and pilates studios
A practice deck facing the dunes and the whole camp kept for your members for the length of the stay.
Gyms and performance coaches
Conditioning on the dunes at dawn, recovery in the afternoon and a kitchen built around your training.
Executive and founder coaches
A small group away from every screen, with a lounge tent for working sessions.
Mindfulness and breathwork teachers
Silence you do not have to manufacture, and a team that stays out of your way.
What the camp gives you
The whole camp, for your group only
Eight tent suites
Each has its own bathroom with a hot shower and a real bed. The camp takes 2 to 18 guests, and up to 20 with extra beds.
The camp to yourselves
When you privatise it, there are no other guests. Your group has the camp, the dunes and the silence, and the team works around your programme.
A kitchen for your group
Our chef cooks for your group only, and dietary needs sent before arrival are built into the menus.
Space to teach
Open desert for practice, a lounge tent for indoor sessions and a sky rated Bortle 1, the darkest class on the scale.
No wifi, no network
There is no network at the camp. For an important call, a signal can be found a short walk away, about twenty minutes there and back.
You keep your community
You set the programme and the price of a place. We never contact your participants and never sell to them.

Questions
What organisers ask first
Can a group of ten to fifteen come for a week?
Yes. The camp takes 2 to 18 guests, up to 20 with extra beds, for as many nights as the programme needs, and it is yours for the whole stay.
Do you handle the transfers from Marrakech?
Yes. We run the transfer from Marrakech: about 8 hours 45 by road in our 4x4s, of which 1 hour 30 is piste, or 1 hour 40 by helicopter.
Can our group have the camp to itself?
Yes. When you privatise it, the camp is taken whole by your group, from 2 to 18 guests and up to 20 with extra beds, so your participants do not share it. Privatising is possible for any request, subject to availability, and never an obligation: a single tent can also be booked.
How do we reach the camp?
Your group flies into Marrakech. From there it is about 8 hours 45 by road, of which 1 hour 30 is piste, or 1 hour 40 by helicopter, with five or six seats per rotation.
When is the camp open?
From September to June. The camp is closed in July and August.
Do you publish a price?
No. The camp is quoted as a whole, case by case, from your dates and your programme. You receive a written proposal within 24 hours.
