Your accomodation
Desert Nomad Camp
This camp is located south of the Jebel Sahro, east of Ouarzazate. It is composed of ten caidal style tents, all very well equipped whose tones of beiges, whites and blacks are in totaly harmony with the surrounding natural environment. Each tent has two beds with plush bedding, a mirror and a little vanity with a water basin and an ewer. Dinners are served under a caidal tent. The campsite is lit only by lanterns and candles. There are four shower tents with water reservoirs and sinks and restroom tents with chemical toilets.
Oasis Nomad Camp
After a long crossing over a plateau of black rock, your arrival to the campsite's golden dunes is totally unexpected. Even more unexpected, discovering, in this isolated site, such luxurious accommodation…The camp is made up of ten tents, well spaced out, a restaurant under a Berber tent, and a comfortable sitting room and library. Every room is a traditional nomadic (khaima) tent, comfortable and well equipped: rugs, armchairs, shelves, trunks for storing things and two beds. The tents are all set up using traditional local materials. The decoration is light coloured and minimalistic to contrast with the warm tones of the tents and the richness of their fabric, woven by hand by the artisans of the Aït Atta tribe. There is a shower/restroom area built in Adobe and tadelakt located at the heart of the camp for your convenience (with hot water). The dining room is also very comfortable with beautiful tablecloths and dishware. The waiters are sharply dressed and the typically Moroccan dishes are refined. The staff of 8, including 2 cooks and a guide see to it that the camp runs perfectly smoothly.
