The experience

About this activity

Some budget and standard camps put solo travellers or small groups in shared tents. A private tent removes that uncertainty: the tent is yours alone, whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends. It also gives you a calm place to rest, change and store your bag, and the tent stays yours from arrival until you leave the next morning. Families can often take a tent with extra beds.

You can pair a private tent with any level of camp. At a luxury camp it typically includes an en-suite bathroom; at a standard camp the bathroom may be private or shared depending on the camp. We confirm exactly what is included for your chosen camp. Everything else follows the familiar pattern: a sunset ride or drive into the dunes, dinner at camp, the night sky, and sunrise over Erg Chebbi in the morning.

  • Tent for your party only
  • Choose standard or luxury camp
  • Dinner and breakfast (typical plan)
  • Camel or 4x4 transfer

Safety

Safety, ages & accessibility

Desert nights can be cold from November to February, close to freezing at times, and summer days very hot. Camps are reached by camel or 4x4 over soft sand; tell us in advance about mobility needs so we can suggest the most accessible option. Camel rides carry health caveats (back problems, pregnancy, weight guideline set by the operator). Use a torch at night, keep tent zips closed against insects, and drink plenty of water.

Good to know

  • Tell us how many beds you need and of what type.
  • Families may be able to book connecting or adjacent tents.
  • Charging may be limited — bring a power bank.
  • Book early in peak periods.
