They are all driven by professional drivers/guides who speak English and French. We work to support local establishments and partners in Morocco. Since 2010 we have been owners of a DESERT CAMP in ERG CHIGAGA. The camp has 17 sleeping tents and 1 big restaurant tent. Showers and toilets in a separate house on site. Our camp offers good service to all our guests. DESERT CANDLES PHILOSOPHY:

Le Drom Blanc is a small and affordable guesthouse in M’hamid, and it feels like a little oasis in the desert. 🌴

It’s simple, clean and peaceful, with good food and wonderful hosts. The hospitality is really something special, and many of our guests have enjoyed staying here.

It’s not a luxury guesthouse, but if you’re looking for a quiet, friendly and affordable place to stay in M’hamid, this is one we’re happy to recommend. 💚🧡

This is not a paid partnership. It’s simply a place we know and like, and a warm recommendation from us. 💚

Want to experience Morocco beyond Marrakech?

Most of our tours start from Marrakech, Ouarzazate, or from our office in M’Hamid. Our most popular tours take you into the desert of Erg Chigaga, but we also arrange private and customized tours, with flexible starting points and the possibility to add your own wishes.

We pick you up at your hotel and bring you back again, so you don’t have to worry about the details. Just sit back, relax and enjoy Morocco. Our experienced drivers know the roads, the desert and the best places to stop, and your safety is always important to us.

Along the way, there is much more to see than just the desert. We can stop at beautiful places, stay in comfortable accommodations, spend the night(s) in a desert camp and enjoy camel rides in the dunes.

For us, it’s not just about getting you to the desert. The whole journey is the experience.

And if there is something special you would like to see or do, tell us. We can adjust the tour to your wishes.

Born in the Sahara, Abdellah Hajja grew up in a nomadic family, where the desert was simply home. Around the campfire, he learned the traditions, music, and hospitality that have been passed down through generations.

Today, he shares that same spirit with guests at our camp in Erg Chigaga. Each evening, our team, most with nomadic roots, gathers around the fire to play music, sing, and share stories. It’s not a show, but a tradition that is still very much alive.

We invite you to experience the Sahara through the people who know it best, and discover the warmth, culture, and beauty of the desert.

✨ Welcome to our home. Welcome to the Sahara. ✨✨✨✨✨

Not all desert experiences in Morocco are the same ✨

If you’re dreaming of the Sahara, the choice between Erg Lihoudi and Erg Chigaga matters.

Both take you south from Marrakech towards M’Hamid, but the extra journey to Erg Chigaga takes you deeper into the desert — where the dunes grow taller, the silence feels endless, and the landscape becomes truly magical.✨

Erg Lihoudi is a beautiful first taste of the Sahara, while Erg Chigaga is for those looking for that once-in-a-lifetime feeling of being surrounded by nothing but golden dunes and endless skies.

A little more time on the road, or rather off-road, can lead to an even deeper Sahara experience ✨ 🧡🐪

Save this for your Morocco desert planning ✨
