Nomad Bivouac — Hotel in Caïdat de Taouz

I stayed one night at this place. Price at booking was 9€ but the owner ask for 10€ but is okay not a big deal for me.

Hassan offer to pickup me up at bus station and when I said I want to buy food for my dinner he refuse and said we can cook for you at home. But the price he gave me is more than double only for eggs tajine. I already said I want to buy from shop I don’t want to pay nonsense price but he not allowed me.

The toilet and tent is clean, but tent too cold during night for winter and no any warmer, the plug point only at his storage room or in the toilet. Got lamp at the tent but how come no any plug point for charging.? And everytime I need to used charge I need to go to his storage room or in toilet.

He try to selling his services to me, riding a camel or ride atv or bring me to the desert. Which is the price also nonsense and after I say no I’m not come here bring a lot of money, I start to realise he chance the way he treat me and become very rude person

The next day i stay almost 15min in commons area greeting good morning to him and he avoids to talk or see at me. I feel Hassan very rude. After prepare my breakfast ( include the price ) he ate with me and barely didn’t speak with me. Almost he finish he just leave me with say anything ( why you come eat with me if you donno the manner)

He seem not happy i’m gave only 10€ to him. But unfortunately i visited fews of Middle East countries so riding a camel, going to the desert not my first time.I go to this place because one of his friend recommend me to go visit him. But I’m not expecting to get very bad treatment from him.

Before i will leave his place he also ask me to walking to the bus station alone, and I insist him to send me ( because that the deal before I book at his place he need to take me and send me to the station ) or else I will choose about option for sure. What more funny from his behaviour is, he drop me off 300 meter to the station bus, yes for sure I’m fine with walking but how come he can leave his customer only 300meter away not harm for me to walking also not harm for him to send me direct to the bus station.

ps: Hassan the owner will treat you good if you bring money and spending more at his place. Unfortunately I definitely will not do that after I saw his real behaviour to treat his customers.

I understand he want business for survive, but with treat customers like this without any smile at his face, definitely not recommend anyone to go there. I will avoid this place for...

It was the best experience we had in the whole trip through the south of Morocco and not just because of sleeping in the desert but also meeting Hassan and his family. They received us with open arms and it was one of the few places in Morocco where I didn't feel they were trying to sell me something. We experienced the true Moroccan hospitality. Hassan went to pick us up in the post office and we left our car and luggage at his house and rode a camel into the desert with his brother. The tents were big, there was a shared bathroom and bottled water was always available. The meal they served us was plentiful and the vegetarian tajine was the best of the whole trip (and we had a loooooot of tajines!). Because it was my birthday, they even made a sand cake so that we could sing Happy Birthay. Breakfast at his place was very good and he also invited us for a tour around the neighborhood and offered us lunch. Hassan speak perfect Spanish and I...

This entire past year, I’ve recommended that my friends travel with L7ou when visiting Merzouga. L7ou, his family, and coworkers always make sure we have an enjoyable trip. His camp sites are always clean and well prepared, making sure that we make it out to the sand dunes on time and get to enjoy all the thrills of Merzouga. Dinner and breakfast are well done and we’re fully fed for each meal. His camels are healthy and look to be taken care of very well. L7ou is very patient with my limited Darija but I know that he also speaks Spanish. ||||Our last trip we took a group of 15 for a holiday party, and rented out his entire site on the Nomad Bivouac property (pictures attached). Everyone had an enjoyable time and L7ou made sure it was a special celebration. ||||L7ou and his family business are an excellent team to book a Merzouga trip with. They’ve always given me very reasonable prices and make sure that my friends and I are taken care of when...
