Company information

My name is Ismail Sbai, coming from a family of nomadic ancestors with old traditions, When I was twelve years old, I moved to M'hamid. I have a keen knowledge of our region, the désert and his dunes. The life in M'hamid is much easier than in the desert but deep in my heart I will always be a Nomad. My house was and will be in the Sahara. I am delighted to welcome you and share with you the experience of life in the desert, its culture and its SAHRAWI traditions.Here I feel free, here I can be myself and give the very best of me.

Property information

This Camp is located 7 km of M'hamid, in the dunes of Erg Mezouaria. The Camp is runned by Ismail Sbai. The camp consists of 8 standard bed rooms and 6 luxury rooms with private douche and toilet in the room, a restaurant, a kitchen, a douche complex with douches and toilettes,  in the shower you will have hot water, which depends on a wood-burning heater. Remember that you will be in the middle of the desert, and that we must adapt to the environment ... The electricity of the camp is supplied by a solar panel. There is light in all rooms and also plugs in the restaurant  where you can charge your electronic devices.  We also have a beautiful area for yoga and a nice Tent to relax. To reach the camp in the dunes of Erg Mezouaria , 7 km from Mhamid, there is no road, but we can organize your pick up from Mhamid in an 4x4 vehicle for a small fee. The journey is about 15 minutes. Contact with us at our office DESERTBIVOUAC at the entrance of mhamid, to arrange time and price.

Neighbourhood information

The camp has everything that is needed to spend a good time and nothing that would interfere the real contact with the wild Sahara desert. We have a restaurant where we serve traditional Berber meals. At night, the camp is lighted by the bonfire and dozens of lanterns. We can provide boards to practice sandboarding on the dunes, organize camel rides, and we can also organize trips for larger groups or a 4x4 adventure in the desert. Our staff helps us to make your stay very confortable, cooks, guides and drivers, each of them is a true-born Berber and has nomadic roots. You can be sure that during your trekking, they will find the right route even at night or during a sand storm, they are able to subdue every camel, pitch the tents and prepare a cup of tea before you untie your shoes, and in the evening, by the campfire, they will put on the memorable concert of traditional Berber music and tell you beautiful story about the real desert life. The desert allows you to come and experience it, but never reveals its secrets ...
