Camp Bivouac Hassi Smara

What

Where

Camp Bivouac Hassi Smara is an authentic, traditional desert camp nestled deep within the quiet dune fields near the Erg Chebbi region. Designed to provide travelers with an immersive and undisturbed Saharan experience, this rustic yet highly comfortable property offers independent adventurers, stargazers, and small groups a peaceful sanctuary far from the crowded tourist routes.

The establishment features classic nomadic tents made from woven camel hair, comfortable bedding, and a central open-air campfire area where guests gather under the night sky. Visitors can enjoy robust, slow-cooked local tagines, participate in traditional drumming circles, or arrange guided camel treks and early morning dune walks to witness the spectacular desert sunrises.

A Pure Desert Escape: Authentic Nomadic Life in M'Hamid El Ghizlane June 1, 2026 9:13 pm

4.3

My stay at Camp Bivouac Hassi Smara was a transformative experience. Located near the edge of the great Sahara, this camp offers a rare, authentic glimpse into nomadic life that is becoming increasingly hard to find. The setting is raw and beautiful, surrounded by endless sand dunes, providing the ultimate environment to disconnect from the noise of the world and reconnect with nature. The hospitality was incredibly warm, with traditional meals prepared right at the camp and evenings spent under a canopy of stars that felt infinite. If you are seeking a genuine, off-the-beaten-path desert adventure where the focus is on simplicity and cultural connection, this is the perfect place to stay.
