Trip Advisor We're Recommended on Tripadvisor

I come from the desert, and perhaps that is why I am drawn to wide open spaces, silence, and the stars. I enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing experiences and stories.

My journey began working in a café, then as a trekking guide, before moving into the world of desert camps. After seven years of hard work and dedication, I am now proud to own my own camp.

At our camp, we are Amazigh and Sahrawi, and we love sharing the culture, traditions, and way of life that we are deeply proud of. My family were once nomads who lived among the nearby dunes, and this part of Morocco remains my spiritual home. It is a place that holds my roots, my history, and the stories of generations before me.

I am gradually developing the camp as an eco-camp, making improvements step by step to minimise its environmental impact while remaining true to the traditions of the desert.

The camp is called Ahlan, which means “welcome” in my language. The logo incorporates the name into the face of a nomad, symbolising the warmth and hospitality that are at the heart of nomadic culture.

Offering a genuine welcome has always been an important part of a nomad’s way of life, and it is a value that we are proud to share with every guest who stays with us.

Our Commitment to the Desert

We design our camp to work in harmony with the desert, protecting its natural beauty while minimizing our impact.

Sustainable Energy

Our electricity and water heating come from solar panels, making the most of the desert sunshine.

Water & Plastic Conservation

Manual flush toilets and mixer taps reduce water use. We avoid single-use plastics wherever possible, except for drinking water bottles.

Locally Made & Eco-Friendly

Furniture is handcrafted by local artisans. All cleaning and bathroom products are biodegradable.

Locally Made & Eco-Friendly

Ingredients are local, seasonal, and organic. Vegetarian and vegan meals are available by request.

Recycling & Waste

We follow a reduce, reuse, recycle approach. Metal and glass are recycled in M’hamid, and kitchen scraps feed our camels.

Supporting the Community

We support local nomad families. Guests are welcome to bring school supplies, gloves, or shoes to donate.

Eco-Friendly Construction

Much of the camp uses reclaimed materials, and non-permanent structures minimize impact on the landscape.

Responsible Tourism

We aim to educate guests on wildlife protection and sustainable travel practices.
