Nomad Bivouac

Hassam foi um host muito companheiro e atencioso. Dialogamos e pensamos a viagem juntos e ele foi super disponível e aberto para abraçar aos nossos pedidos. Para nós foi muito valioso estar na sua casa ao lado da sua família e poder conhecer mais sobre a realidade dos locais e da vila de Merzouga. A comida estava muito boa, todos os espaços super limpinhos e aconchegantes. Sarah, sua irmã, preparou pizza berbere pra nós com todo o carinho do mundo! Hassam oferece diferentes possibilidades de passeio pelo deserto e topamos ir com ele. Para quem busca contato local, fugir de espaços luxuosos, e ainda assim encontrar conforto, Hassam proporciona isso!

Isso sem dúvidas não é um ponto de melhoria, mas um desejo pessoal, adoraríamos ter tido ainda mais momentos de troca profunda com Hassam e sua família para conhecer ainda mais a história dos Tuaregues e dos povos berberes.

Personeel is heel aardig, behulpzaam, spreekt veel talen. Eten is erg lekker. Goed rustpunt. Hassan verzorgd o.a. cameldrives naar een kleine oase. Ook naar andere locaties en meerdaagse trips. Een aanrader!!

Un accueil très chaleureux et un beau moment partagé à discuter, malgré notre arrivée tardive. Endroit calme, très propre, avec des sanitaires bien entretenus. Merci pour cette belle nuit. Hassan est tellement gentil. Nous recommandons

Les lits sont grands et avec de bons draps et couvertures mais un peu fermés. Nous avons tout de même bien dormi.

Hassane est un hôte d'une attention extrême qui a pris le temps de répondre à nos nombreuses questions sur notre séjour et sur la vie au Maroc.

Service is the best

Washroom is pretty good

Alojamiento típico Beréber

Definitiv einer unserer schönsten Aufenthalte in Marokko. Wir kamen spät abends an und wurden noch mit dem leckeren marokkanischen Tee begrüßt. Es liegt zwar etwas abseits, dennoch sehr gut mit dem Auto zu erreichen. Am nächsten Morgen erwartete uns ein großes Frühstück, etwas besseres für den Preis können Sie nicht kriegen. Wir kommen gerne wieder:)

Very friendly staff, great silent location

Tout était parfait, accueil exceptionnel, propre, confortable, très bien équipé, petit déjeuner et dîner délicieux ! Une expérience authentique à Merzouga avec de véritables experts en ce qui concerne le désert et le mode de vie nomade.

Ha sido un placer quedarme en Nomad Bivouac con Hassan y su familia. Hassan es una persona amable y acogedora, y la comunicación ha sido muy fácil ya que habla perfectamente español. Las jaimas son muy cómodas, los baños limpios y con agua caliente, y la comida deliciosa. Además, Hassan organiza excursiones por las dunas tanto en 4x4 como en camello para la puesta del sol. Recomiendo al 100% pasar unos días aquí para disfrutar de una experiencia maravillosa en Merzouga!

Colazione eccezionale e disponibilità anche per la cena, abbondante e squisita.

ctmバス停から歩いて20分位の距離でいいです 宿代は朝食付きで安いです シャワールーム、トイレが綺麗です みんな優しいです

Difficile de s'y retrouver avec les très nombreuses offres de nuits autour de merzouga et de l'erg Chebbi tant tout se ressemble ou donne une image étrange du désert, puis il y a Nomad bivouac qui frappe par sa singularité. Si vous cherchez une expérience plus proche de l'habitant, vous êtes au bon endroit ! Les offres sur Booking concernent seulement des tentes que Hassan a installé chez lui, très simple, mais surtout très confortable avec tout l'équipement nécessaire : toilettes et douches qui sont très propres avec une eau bien chaude. Il y a également le WiFi. (par contre les nuits sont fraîches(janvier), mais les nombreuses couvertures disponibles ont su nous réchauffer). Après un bon accueil de Hassan, un bon whisky berbère et un excellent tajine maison (en supplément, mais ça valait le coût !) on a pu discuter des différentes activités que propose Hassan. Pour faire simple, ce sont les mêmes activités qu'on voit un peu partout sur l'erg Chebbi, mais avec ce petit plus authentique : ses dromadaires sont derrière sa maison, ses guides sont des locaux et avec l'activité que nous avons choisi, nous avons manger une pizza berbère chez une nomade après avoir traversé les dunes à dos de dromadaire. Le campement dans les dunes est très simple, mais ne manque pas de charme, le repas et petit déjeuner étaient excellents. Cependant, les nuits y sont très fraîches et les tentes ne sont pas chauffées. Heureusement, une fois de plus les très nombreuses couvertures nous ont tenu bien chaud et le lever du soleil sur le désert a su merveilleusement ponctuer cette aventure. En simple, que vous soyez de passage ou chercher à découvrir le désert en mode aventure. Vous serez au bon endroit !

La barrière de la langue qui bloquait certains échanges avec les guides, mais qui ne nous a pas empêché de bons moments de rigolade.

De gastvrijheid, prijs kwaliteit verhouding

Hard bed

Kind host, willing to help us with anything, large tasty breakfast, clean bathrooms, comfotable tent for sleeping with good isolation (even though it was winter, in tent there was still quite good temperature), nice calm location outside of the main load of tourists, but still close enough to enjoy dunes and everything from Merzouga

It takes 20 minutes walking to city (still it is better than other tents which are located in sand dunes)

Todo perfecto! Lo mejor,la atencion del dueño Hassan. Habitaciones y baño SUPER limpios. (Agua caliente y lindas duchas) Hay una laguna cerca ( cuando hay agua). Desayuno elegante y rico.

Nice people, willing to help with activities and your needs. Veey clean place.

me gustó todo...la tienda es básica pero camas muy cómodas. los baños están en muy buenas condiciones y sobretodo la atención de su dueño Hassan quien fue super amable y además cocina muy rico. recomiendo el tagine de pollo que es muy rico. hicimos tambienun paseo en camello por las dunas con el guía que trabaja con Hassan quien también fue super amable. recomiendo el lugar sin dudarlo

ninguna queja...

Viajaba sola buscando tranquilidad y un entorno auténtico y indiscutiblemente lo encontré. Gran trato personal y profesional el que ofrece Hassan, su cocina increíble y me hizo de guía por la zona. Muy recomendable, repetiré seguro!

No hay nada que me disgustara

I absolutely LOVED this stay from my room/tent to the food. Everything was really perfect. - there's hot water in the shower - breakfast is a beautiful big spread - in a quiet neighborhood near the center - walkable from the dunes - The night sky was incredible The host speaks English and was very kind. They did not push for any tours only shared the info when I asked. The host was very thoughtful and came to pick me up as i was reaching late in the evening and he figured i might find it challenging to walk alone. It was very kind of him. My only regret is not staying here longer.

Excellent rapport qualité-prix, nous avons dîné sur place et c'était parfait. Les sanitaires sont très propres, la douche est chaude et a de la pression. Les tentes sont très agréables, nous avons très bien dormi. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter!

Best place to relax with clean toilets and dusche, kind host, clean tents and great breakfast.

Everything was perfect and deeply recommended.

The camp is located a 20min walk from Merzouga and relativly good to find. The Host is super welcoming and friendly. He was easy to talk to but also not trying to sell many tours etc. We arrived late at 21pm and even got cooked a huge, tasteful diner (we couldnt even finish it as two persons). The breakfast was also very nice and everything you could expect for this price. In the daytime you can easily walk to the dunes and enjoy the nature there. The bathroom was very clean and has showers included. We would book this again for sure.

You could say, that you always have to knock on the door, when you come from outside, but that was never a problem for us, because the host reacted always quickly.

The host was helpful and kind with us.

The location was a little hard to access with some cars.

Very good location and friendly staff.

The place was amazing! Especially owner so welcomed me with best food! Breakfast,lunch and dinner! Adviced me for best trip 4x4 and camel ride, quad! The best experience in Morocco ! Thank you so much

Thank you so much for your incredible hospitality! You organized everything perfectly and took care of every little detail, making our stay truly unforgettable. The food was absolutely delicious, and we felt so welcomed throughout the entire experience. We really appreciate all your efforts and would highly recommend your place to anyone visiting. Thank you so much Houssine 🤩

Our stay here was great. Accommodation conditions was ok, breakfast was large and tasty, the owner was very helpful. I really recommended this place.

Good behaviour, benevolent people,clean and neat place,warm bed ..good, excellent breakfast

Nothing there not to like

nice location in village type neighborhood quiet walkable distance to the dunes the tents are neat beds are comfortable bathroom has hot water and clean the whole area the food is very fine with the vegetarian option as well the host is a very nice helpful humble man you can rely on him without any fear

Nice place with wonderful people. Delicious breakfast. Thank you for everything.

The host went out of his way to help with everything. They prepared a scrumptious dinner. The camel sunset ride was spectacular.

The units could be a bit warm in summer

We had visited Morroco several times since 2008 so we have got some experience. We booked a tent for 4 persons at Nomad Bivouac for 1 night only as we wanted to spend night at desert again. The price was very low with brealfast included. We had no idea what we should expect. It was easy to find location by sat nav. The place had been located in small village. All tents were surrounded by wall so we felt very safe. We had been greeted by Hassan who offered us a/c room at aditional payment as temperature was over 46 C deg. However we decided to stay in tent just for adventure. Our tent was clean, spacious, with 4 beds ready for us, light and electric power socket. We could use 2 toilets and 2 showers at the other tent ( no issues with cleanliness). Hassan was very kind offering us camela and 4x4 rides but we did not needed them. He was very polite and unobtrusive at all. We accepted dinner at MHD 120/person and Hassan served it at agreed time convenient to us. It was the best point of our stay as it was the most delicious dinner which we ever had had in Morocco - salad, tajin with chicken, Berbere traditional tajin with meet balls and eggs on top, big plates of fruits. The same happened at breakfast - it was increadible good comparing with any one we had had before. The night was wonderful as the place was very quite with no donkey and roosters. Even muzein was calling for prayers somewhere far away. Thus you could hear nothing but your thoughts and your snorring companions. We definitely recomend Nomad Bivouac to all of you.

We found no issues at all.

Very cosy camping with helpful and friendly host. I would also recommend a sahara trip organised by the host

The host was very welcoming and knowledgable on the local area, including organising a tour in the desert on a very short notice. He welcomed us very late in the evening and even provided us dinner. Very nice alternative experience to staying in one of the larger camps in the desert.

We arrived in Merzouga in the evening and were welcomed with tea and snacks before indulging in the most delicious dinner we had in Marocco. Sleeping in one of the tents and waking up for the sunrise, hanging out with the dromedaries, and meeting Lhou and his family... We truly couldn't have asked for more, except for more time maybe :) If you are planning on exploring the dunes and making the most of your time in and around Merzouga, make sure to talk with Lhou before booking another tour online. He has his own dromedaries, knows people in town and will be able to help you put together the desert experience of your dreams. I cannot wait to be back one day!

It was really nice thanks !

Everything was amazing. We felt like home. The food was delicious, he even made some lunch for our trip and organised a spontaneous camel trip. I highly recommend to stay with Hassan. It was a pleasure and I'd love to come back.

Beautiful place in a quiet village just outside of Merzouga. Hassan is a very nice and hospitable person, thank you.

The place is quite nice, the owner was friendly and welcoming.

All of it. From arrival til departure, the experience we had thanks to Hassan was precious. Makes sure you have an excellent dinner when you arrive; is such a nice company that we ended our evening listening to his life stories, back to the base where you enjoy the basic things. Highly recommend the stayover in the desert. You get to the chance to see how nomads live and the guiding throughout the desert was perfect. Hassan even makes sire your car/vehicle is in a safe spot while you are sleeping in the desert. Heartwarming. Thank you!

That the time passed too fast 🤭

It was super pure experience, like the desert should be. But pure with commodity as well. The tangine is the best I have tried in the whole Morocco, highly recommend! Lhou is the kindest and most honest host I’ve met in Morocco, I am very grateful to him. Definitely if I go back to Merzouga I’m coming here!!

Nothing really, everything was super😊

Hassan was an amazing host. The atmosphere of the place was very authentic, peaceful, safe and very clean. Even though you experience the berber camp feeling you have everything you need. The breakfast was extremly generous, could feed a whole family, big variety and you shouldn't miss Hassan's and his family's dinner, which was the best in our trip. Hassan has his own dromedars and will arrange you any kind of trip you want. If you are lucky Hussain will be your tour guide and your day will be packed with lots of laughs and smiles.

Nomad Bivouac outstrippingly exceeded my expectations in every single aspect- i loved every second of my time in Merzouga and it's mostly because I was able to just cruise back home to the most chill, beautiful little courtyard in the desert and watch the stars. 'Berber' means "free man", and i genuinely felt like a free man when i was here. No pressure, no hassle, just honesty, good vibes and a safe, comfortable place to stay before heading out for more wandering in the desert. The location won't be for everyone because it's like a 15 min walk from the main madness of Merzouga, but to be fair, Nomad Biv makes all the other hostels look like Disneyland; super fake and plastic. Nomad Bivouac is authentic, tranquil, and just the most REAL experience of the Berber. I ate a hearty, delicious brekkie EVERY morning, and at night, kindly prepared at a time that suited me, a generous, bubbling hot, fresh vegetable tagine. If I live to be an old man I'll be telling stories about this place forever. Massive respect to L'hou and his terrific family, and super COOL cousins. Good luck with the garden, champ. Love.

I know it's supposed to be good for you but damn I had a rough time sleeping on those firm mattresses. Easily fixed by putting a wee blanket underneath the sheet, and to be fair I didn't mention it to L'hou so he might have had a stash of ultra-luxe mattresses in the back! Legit Berber experience tho- these dudes don't carry around stupid big mattresses! Again, authenticity! I guess this bad comment turned out to be quite good... Also just to say I object to the union flag on these reviews! I'm from SCOTLAND YO

Accommodation in the tent and the meal were ok.

As a single traveler for one night there was no attention for me. A short excursion was not offered and was probably not feasible due to the distance to the dune. It's more for a longer tour, but seemed very expensive to me.

Everything. We had an incredible time with Hassein and his family in this beautiful home like hostel that is courtyard with individual rooms with their own entrance. Piping hot water and so clean. The dinner and breakfast were some of the best meals we ate in Morocco and Hassein cooks them himself. So helpful to show and share one’s life with one and they have their own camels which they look after so beautifully. It is away from the tourist side of Mazouga and easy to get to the sand dunes. Anyone wanting a more authentic and genuine experience of a nomadic family and their stories should def stay here. A true highlight of our trip.

Nothing

The owner is very nice, breakfast was great

Nothing

The owner was super nice, met us at the bus stop, and took us home, even though we didn't ask, it was a wonderful surprise. There was a great dinner and breakfast.

A little far in terms of walking to get to the dunes (but as you'll see from the high dunes, nothing is close to them)

Amazing tents in a beautiful location, the guys working there were lovely and friendly, thank u very much!

Very helpful host. Perfect hospitality. Felt at home. Very good experience.

No downsides.

Exceptional place with exceptional host! Hassan is the definition of Moroccan hospitality, very helpful, always looked after us, provided transportation, nice ways to spend time and interesting stories. Location is 20 minutes walking from dunes, but you can rent a camel on a spot or walk really comfortably. 10/10 in every aspect. Traditional food (simple but delicious) is served for breakfast, fresh fruit, water, whatever you need. Shaded common area is great for socializing. Simply amazing!

Hassan is an amazing host. I arrived very early, and with no notice, he prepared the room for me with no issues and made me feel like family all the time. He booked me a trip to spend the night on the dessert 100% recommended and very good price!! If you want to experience the real deal in merzouga, this is the place you have to stay!!

The host was very kind, the food was exceptional! The dinner and the breakfast we had were above and beyond. The best we had during our 16 day round trip. We had to stay in the apartment instead of one of the tents because it was too hot to stay in the tent. But it was still a pleasant experience.everything we needed was there. We were taken on a little trip to the sand dunes to take pictures, you can also go by camel if you want, the bivouac has 4 of them ;) The host even gave us a bottle of frozen mineral water for the road to the next Riad. Thanks a lot!

Host and Food was above expectations. Very authentic experience

A simple but very organized and clean "camp site". Hosted by an amazing host Hassan. He can organize overnight trips to the dessert with you (prize was 65€/75€ depending on the itinerary), which are a bit less touristy than other offers. His dinners are probably the best food you will have in Morocco, albeit a tad expensive, but in our opinion still worth it. If we ever return to Morocco we are going here again.

Everything, the warm welcome, the peace of the tents and the delicious dinner prepared by the host, best vegetarian tagine I had in my whole Moroccan trip! I was leaving in the early morning and Hassan was so kind to pack me the breakfast for the trip and bring me to the bus stop in motorbike. Thanks again for your kindness.

Nothing, all was good. Simple life, happy life! Ps. The lake that appear in Google Maps has been dry for more than 5 years! That was a surprise 😂

One if not the best experience we had in Morocco. Worm and extra caring hosts. Incredible experience, amazing food, worm hospitality. We felt like home. Thank you Hassan & family, thank you Omar. Hope we meet again

Nothing

La Grandeur de la Semplicitè. It was amazing...very high Quality/Price and Hassan is always ready to give the best for an enjoyable stay. The road to go there is perfect and with Gps Coordinates no problem. Last but not least Breakfast is really great. We have dinner there and was really super with a really good price. The Chef is excellent!!!! A place I am sure will be again there in the next trip.

Outside there is just a Label Nomad Bivouac without Restaurant...pity because the Chef is very good!!!! ;-))))

Nomadic in a name and nature, this bivouac was everything I hoped it would be. The meals were fantastic and authentic to the region and the service was great. The bivouac is minimalist and simple, but was a great experience and rest stop.

Nomad Bivuoac is a wonderful alternative to staying in a hotel in Merzouga. The location is a bit removed from the center and requires a taxi or it's a 25 minute walk. But it's not easy to find. You'll need Lhou, the manager to pick you up or go by taxi. The overall experience has a more authentic feel. Lhou grew up as a nomad and is willing to share stories about his life, or if you're lucky, play some music after dinner. The best tajines I had in all Morocco were here, and I traveled for 5 and half weeks. Make sure to be on time for your meals though! Being late is definitely frowned upon! The tents are basic and the beds are adequate. You're roughing it here, Basically camping in an enclosed courtyard. There are a couple of western style toilets and shower stalls with hot water. But be aware that it's the desert, so you should limit your water consumption. There was also good wifi. My friend and I arranged an overnight camel trek into the dunes. I would highly recommend this. You get to stay in a small oasis inside the dunes away from all the other encampments. But make sure to discuss the details and price. We went for only one night and wish we could have stayed for two, as our return started immediately after breakfast the next day while another couple staying there got to do more cultural things afterwards before heading back to Merzouga. Overall, no complaints. It's strictly for those willing to sacrifice some comforts to experience the real deal, or something close to it . . .

Lhou can be aloof and intimidating. He never smiled the first couple of days we were there. But he softened up afterwards, even smiled, and played music after our dinner. The place is a bit remote. You'll need to contact the manager (Lhou) for a ride or directions on how to get there. Not all taxi drivers in Merzouga know where it is.

Fantastic owner Lhou who is friendly and catered to our needs. We used this camp as a base for our Sahara Desert adventure. We spent one unforgettable night in a luxurious camp offered by Lhou. Lhou prepared a delicious grilled lamb and chicken dinner for us. After dinner, he serenaded us by playing the guitar and drums. He also advised us to take the Supratour bus from Merzouga to Tinghir and bought the tickets for us. We appreciated very much his warm hospitality. We highly recommend his camp because of his amazing hospitality and tremendous value although the facilities are simple but clean.

nothing. We are very satisfied with the camp.

If you are deciding which accommodation to choose in merzouga, stop looking because you’ve found it! everything from the room to the bathroom facilities to the meals was amazing. Hassan is the best host we have encountered in our travels! He is so welcoming and accommodating for your every need. We booked 3 nights at Nomad Bivouac for honestly the best price you could get for any accommodation comparable and were interested in all the desert activities which Hassan provides! We had the options of camel trekking, 4x4, or ATV all through Hassan and we chose to do the camel trek overnight into the desert which his cousin leads. Was a wonderful experience and the convenience of booking was great. Delicious and plentiful breakfast (by far the best we have had in our 3 week trip in Morocco), and dinner for 100 dirham per person with a very large entreè followed by an even larger tajine, also THE BEST dinner we have had in our entire stay visiting 5 other cities/ towns in Morocco. It is the most food we have had for the price and the quality outranks anywhere else so definitely get it every night! Book with Hassan and make unforgettable memories thanks to this lovely man. We will be recommending him to everyone coming his way :)

Lovely place, friendly host, cozy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Very good food! -Calm and cozy location -Good toilet and shower facilities -Spontaneous desert trip -Great host

The breakfast and Dinner were so delicious.

It’s hard to find the right words to describe the kindness and helpfulness of Hassan. He is such a nice guy and helped us in every way you can imagine. It’s incredible to hear about his nomadic life as a kid, how he never went to school but speaks like 6 languages perfectly, when he talks about his family, simply impressive. The food was great, we got tea served all the time, the room and bathroom were clean. Hassan organised a desert tour with his cousin Omar and that was great too. All the people at the camp were so nice and gave their best for us.

Good value, great host, good breakfast, nice and warm shower.

Our experience was really good. Hassan and his family are very close and nice. The dinner they gave us was amazing for the quality and the quantity. The breakfast was incredible. Lots of things to eat. The tent was big, clean and confortable. They provide us more blankets, just in case. The bathrooms were super clean and hot water for the showers. We booked a day in the desert with dromedary tour and night in a campsite in the middle of the desert easily. 100% recommended.

Everything good!

I had a really great stay. Amazing value for the price, the free breakfast that they put on is huge. I paid extra for dinner and is it was exceptional. The best food I had in Morocco by far and really good value. The bed is deceptively comfortable. The location is in a small settlement away from the main areas, but does mean it is so quiet at night. I would stay again.

Everything was great! Massive tents with electricity, hot water in the bathroom, delicious dinner and breakfast (the best tajin we had in Morocco within the 10 days trip!), lovely and very well taken care of camels and more! Last but not least - the best host we could ever dreamed of! Hassan is an amazing person, very kind and lovely! He organised for us a great camel trip to Sahara, lunch with Nomad family, a night in one of the Sahara oasis and told us many interesting stories. Thank you very much! 😊 we fully recommend staying with Hassan and his family and letting him to take you to Sahara desert as he knows it very well. You won’t regret! 😊

everything was great! it was a bit difficult to get there at night but luckily Hassan found us and showed us the way! 😊

Location by the dunes and the staff were amazing!

Bathrooms were a bit smelly, but I guess when you're in tents out in the desert it's kind of expected

Amazing amazing amazing ⭐️ loved Hassan, his friends and family. They are such a fun bunch. The whole experience was completely amazing, would definitely recommend to anyone. The food was also soooo yummy (they brought us an appetiser, but we thought this was it and tried to fill up on it 😅 then the tajin came…. 🤤). Hassan is so accomodating, he’d get you anything you need. I wanted to go sandboarding but the board was broken and he got me a good one on the same afternoon. We took the quad ride, dromedar ride and everything was soooo coool. <3
