Very nice host. The housing is close to village, you can reach it with your car. Small dunes are just behind the houses and even they're small, it very nice.

My stay at Desert Camp Chraika was great! I booked a night before going with them on a 4-day desert tour in the desert which was the best experience ever and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants an authentic experience in the desert. It...

Great Location! You don't need any special trip to the desert. Easy access by sedan car. Close to M'hamid by walk is 20 minutes. Clean apartments. Nice crew. Good food.

Agata and Mohamed took good care of us, and tried everything to make our desert experience as great as possible! When our camel trip to the desert didn't go as expected (which wasn't Agata's and Mohamed's fault!), they let us stay another night in...

Amazing, I wanted a simple and quiet night in the desert and I got this here. Mohammed @ Chraika is very nice, didn't push excursions, he was friendly and helpful. Everything was great, the room, the really comfy bed, the facilities, all the...

My daughter and I loved our time here so much that we extended another 2 days. The location was perfect for us being able to walk straight out into the dunes every day with our dog and watch the sunrise and sunset right next to our room. The food...

Great place to stay in the desert and, at the same time, close to Mhamid (15 min walking). The camp is neat, clean and authentic, all ammenities are available (hot water, internet, phone charging point). Huts are warm enough even during winter...

Desert feeling but accessible with a car (we’re traveling with a 9m baby so it was a great solution). We met Mohammad in MHamid village and followed him to the camp with our car for a few minutes. The huts are very cute, and warm at night. The...

Frühstück und Nachtessen war sehr gut Da man schon halbwegs in der Wüste ist, muss ein Camp auch nicht luxuriös sein

We are located in the area of small dunes just a 15-minute walk from charming, peaceful village M'hamid. This is where the road ends, and the great sands begin. It's a perfect starting point for any further trips deeper in the Sahara, which we are happy to organize. Desert Camp Chraika is also a superior spot for group retreats. We are happy to host workshops connected with yoga, dance, meditation, couching / self development. We can accommodate up to 20 persons; it is a unique, peaceful space for this kind of events. We provide accommodation in clay-wooden huts with electricity coming fully from the solar energy. Water comes from our own well. Moroccan breakfast is always included in the price. Our property has a big hall that serves as a space for group retreats, a communal fireplace and a lounge where one can relax in a shade while enjoying the view to the sand dunes.
Mohamed Khidouma - a certified guide to Sahara, owner and manager of Desert Camp Chraika. "I've been running this camp and organizing trips since 2004, with great support of my family. I was born and grew up in the desert, this is my home, and everyone is welcome here". Agata Orowiecka-Khidouma - a cultural anthropologist and traveler, joined Mohamed in 2015, responsible for communication with guests, planning itineraries and general management. Privately Mohamed's wife.
Our camp is located in a beautiful, peaceful nature area. Here one can enjoy walking barefoot into the dunes, watching sunsets and the breathtaking Saharan sky every night. There are nice walks to do in the area: - a 15-minute walk to M'hamid village, good for shopping / souvenirs - a 40-minute walk to the old casbah of M'hamid, a traditional, clay village surrounded by strong walls, with 4 entrances. Although it may looks like a skansen, people still live there. Women cooperatives offer local products and handicraft. - a one hour walk to the beautiful palm grove - the very end of the Draa valley, called the longest oasis in North Africa.
