Thanks to Mohammed Ahansal we had a great time here, completing Zagora Ultra Trail. The tents inside are clean, bedding is great. The food served in the main tent is also very good. The sanitation is quite ok.

Beautiful location! Perfect base to explore the Sahara with all the breathtaking land formation it has to offer. I am all good with tent and sleeping bag and didn't expect such a beautiful setting! Highly recommend!

I think that's is a beautiful experience stayed at Bivouac Ahansal . The arrival at the camping with the dromedaires is a single experience. The staff at the camping is very kind.

An Authentic Desert Escape Near Zagora June 21, 2026 10:10 pm

My stay at Bivouac Ahansal in Zagora was a fantastic experience that truly captured the magic of the desert. Located in a beautiful, serene spot, this camp is the perfect choice for anyone looking to step away from the noise and reconnect with the quiet beauty of the Sahara. The traditional tents are comfortable and well-kept, providing a cozy atmosphere for a peaceful night under the stars. The hospitality is exceptional, with friendly staff and delicious, authentic Moroccan meals served in a welcoming, communal setting. Whether you are trekking through the dunes or just looking to enjoy a sunset, Bivouac Ahansal offers a genuine, high-quality desert experience. Areas for improvement: Providing guests with a simple ‘Evening Activity’ schedule—highlighting times for traditional music, stargazing, or guided night walks—would be a great way to add value to the stay. Additionally, ensuring clear, reflective signage on the approach roads leading to the camp would make it much easier for guests arriving by their own vehicle to find this wonderful desert oasis at night. Overall, Bivouac Ahansal is an excellent choice for a memorable, authentic stay near Zagora. I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a true desert retreat!
