A Sahara camp for American retreat leaders
Founders, executives, physicians, attorneys and the people who lead them: the whole camp for your group, with partners, friends and teams welcome
Why the Sahara
Many American coaches and teachers already take their clients abroad and already rent a whole venue to do it. The Erg Chegaga offers the same shape with something a villa cannot: sixty kilometres of desert piste beyond the last paved road, no wifi, no network and, once you privatise it, no other guests.
A group of eight to eighteen arrives, settles and works, and by the third day it moves as one. Spouses, partners, friends and colleagues can come too: the camp is yours, and so is the programme.
Who brings a group
Built for the people who lead
Executive and founder coaches
Forums, masterminds and peer groups that want a week where nobody can leave the room, and nothing to check.
Meditation and silence teachers
Silence retreats of five, seven or ten nights, with open desert for walking practice and a camp that stays quiet at night.
Yoga, breathwork and pilates teachers
A practice deck facing the dunes, a lounge tent for indoor sessions and the whole camp kept for your people.
Medical and professional groups
Physicians, attorneys and partners who travel together, with a chef who cooks for your group only.
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 partners and friends of the participants come?
Yes. The camp takes 2 to 18 guests, and up to 20 with extra beds, so a group can include spouses, partners, friends and colleagues. You decide who is on the list.
Can we run a silent retreat of ten nights or more?
Yes, on request. Longer stays are arranged with the dates agreed in writing, and the camp stays yours for the whole period.
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.
