Shooting Stars Camp — Hotel in caïdat d'Er-Rissani

Two words: Do it!

An unforgettable experience thanks to Moustafa and staff. You will enjoy the luxury tent with the private shower and toilet. The beds were comfortable and clean. Moustafa answered all the questions we asked him about the culture his property and the camel owners. He is an honest guy and his staff are very welcoming albeit the language barrier. They gave us the best time with their singing, drumming and dancing at night. Directly book with him if you want to save money and still get the best experience! He takes cash payment only at the end of the experience, after he has given all the service from start to finish. He knows English well so he is able to easily communicate on WhatsApp and in person.

There is parking at the meetup point where you can safely park overnight and you can get dropped off there at the end as well.

Be aware that the drive to the meetup point from the highway is very rough for sedans. Super rocky and undeveloped.

The camel ride with another guide was amazing and very picturesque at sunset. Really unforgettable! We ended up purchasing about 500dh worth of items from the camel guide since he makes very little money. So do buy something from them or tip them well. We also tipped the main helper at the camp 100dh. He was there to show us the room, setup and provide the tea & dinner.

On our way back after the experience, Moustafa gave us a last final tour of the dessert (we rode his truck back to meetup point instead of camel, our butts were sore so we skipped the return trip by camel). The tour was extensive, he showed us parts of the dessert where the water pools and there were some dug up holes with water! Then he brought us to pull some water out of the desert well and it tasted so fresh and clean. Amazing information. He explained about the Berber Nomads and how they lived.

If I had to give any negative feedback it would only be the breakfast because dinner was great!!

Change the mini buffet style. Fresh breakfast only served when guests are ready would have been better so to not eat cold everything with flies landing on the food in open air. So if that part were to be better then that would have topped the experience even more! I skipped it but my family ate and they were ok with it. But not a deal breaker at all! Still an ok spread of food, but room for...

Sahara Shooting Stars Camp is a truly magical place. Located in the heart of the Sahara Desert, the camp is set among towering sand dunes and offers stunning views of the night sky. The camp is made up of traditional Berber style, spacious and comfortable. Each tent has its own private bathroom, and there is a communal area where guests can relax and socialize. The camp also has a restaurant that serves delicious Moroccan food.

The staff at Sahara Shooting Stars Camp are incredibly friendly and welcoming. They are always happy to help guests with anything they need, and they go out of their way to make sure that guests have a memorable experience. The camp offers a variety of activities, such as quads, camel rides, free sandboarding, and stargazing with beautiful Berber drum music.

Mustafa is the host of Sahara Shooting Stars Camp, and he is one of the most friendly and welcoming people I have ever met. He is always happy to chat with guests and share his knowledge of the area. He can also assist the guess with planning and excursions.

One of the highlights of my stay at Sahara Shooting Stars Camp was the incredible tagine that was prepared for us. The tagine was made with fresh, local ingredients, and it was absolutely delicious. We also enjoyed the traditional Moroccan music and dancing that Mustafa and his staff put on for us. The campfire under the stars was the perfect way to end our evening.

I would highly recommend Sahara Shooting Stars Camp to anyone looking for a unique and unforgettable experience in the Sahara Desert. The camp is located in a beautiful setting, the staff are friendly and helpful, and the food is delicious. With my wife, we would definitely visit...

The camp experience starts at an abandoned hotel. You get picked up and taken to the camels. Camel ride to the camp is approximately 30 Minutes. You do not go far into the dunes, only a few hundred meters in unfortunately. The rooms appeared clean and fine, no fan or AC! Unfortunately tent #7 had a bent door that could not shut, instead it banged open and close all night in the wind, we didn’t sleep a minute all night from the noise. Food was ok for dinner and breakfast. Bring your own wine or beer if you want to drink! Music was ok, it was 2 songs around the fire and then most of the team disappeared and Mustapha stayed behind to sing songs with the guests. It was near impossible to find any staff during our staff, the main guy at the camp seems not happy to be there, he was just very obviously not motivated. No bottled water in the room either, shower and toilet was fine, but couldn’t use it since the front door was banging open non stop with no way of pulling it closed. It opened while I was in the toilet so I decided against a shower. Trip back in the AM was by pickup truck. Guys in the bed, women inside. It was super windy and hammered the guts with sand out back. The drivers were super nice on both the trip in and out. Actually by far the nicest people during our stay along with our camel guide. No big camps close by...
