Far from the rest of the world you will be transported to a universe of fullness, communion with nature and authenticity, a return to joys and the essentials guaranteed!
Set back and isolated from the places of passage and the majority of camps, our camp enjoys a privileged location and will offer you the simplicity and tranquility you are looking for.
Only a dozen tents display the camp in order to preserve the privacy of the place and respect nature. We consider the desert as a sacred territory that we have at heart to protect, which is why you will not find in our camps a tent with private bathroom or air conditioning.
We are still one of the few camps in the area to resist this competition between the vast majority of them, eager to develop a more lucrative business that breaks with the spirit of Bedouin life. For our part, we have chosen simplicity to offer an authentic experience.
On site our cook will concoct typical dishes and take care with our team of guides to welcome you in the rules of the art of Bedouin hospitality. For us, the important thing is that you feel at home!
On the logistics side, the camp is equipped with solar panels, so you can charge your devices: telephone, camera in the large reception tent and also have light in each of your tents.
On the comfort side, all tents are secure and have beds, blankets and pillows. On the hygiene side, a common bathroom with toilets, sinks and showers with hot water (in winter you will appreciate it!)
