Tiziri Camp - Luxury ECO Desert Camp Merzouga — Hotel in Caïdat de Taouz

Words cannot truly describe the experience of Tiziri. We had a 5 day trip through the Atlas Mountains, Todra Gorge and then a two night stay in Tiziri Camp in the Sahara Desert.

Regarding the preparation: Aicha was incredible in about 100 emails back and forth to organise the specifics of the trip and was very quick at responding and accommodating our requests. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without Aicha’s suggestions, recommendations and guidance through the process. ️

We were picked up by our incredible guide, Hssaine, in an air conditioned 4x4 straight from our riad. The following 5 days we learnt so much about Moroccan culture, nomads, Berbers and were taught lots of small phrases.

Along the way, Hssaine gave us many options of what we could do, and we were free to refuse or ask for others so never felt even close to being pressured or like we were even on a tour.

Having a driver and a guide is completely indispensable and I would recommend anyone to do this - he navigated some roadworks and more remote areas expertly and knew all the “off the grid” places which were not able to be found on guides.

Hssaine helped us to translate, navigate well and he knew all the places to go (as well as those to avoid) so that we were treated to the very best of Moroccan hospitality throughout the whole trip.

Ait Benhaddou and Kasbah Tebi is truly incredible - no electricity and you feel as though you’re transported centuries back. The Kasbah was used for filming Game of Thrones and Gladiator, amongst others.

Auberge Le Festival is a hotel built into the rocks of Todra Gorge and has some incredible cave rooms (where you sleep in a cave, albeit a luxurious one).

Tiziri camp itself is an inimitable experience. After a long camel ride over Erg Chebbi you arrive to the camp after sunset - the whole experience is meditative and upon arrival you’re greeted with mint tea and snacks. The four course dinner was very good and a modern twist on Moroccan food. After dinner, the camp team set up rugs outside and played music for us - one evening we all joined in as well!

The tents themselves are luxurious - good bedsheets, lots of space, a loo and shower. Every night they give you a frozen bottle of water so you have cool water and a constant supply of snacks.

We went in summer so it was very hot - Hmad organised for us to spend the day out of the camp and by a pool, as well as visiting some nearby nomads who welcomed us with tea and food. In the evening we played with the sand boards (harder than it seems) and were taken with a 4x4 to drive over the dunes and watch the sunset.

Another must do experience is the sand bread demonstration - remarkable and delicious! The whole time Hssaine was with us when we asked him to be, and helped show us around the nomad camp and explained the culture.

We felt like guests in Morocco rather than tourists and speaking to others, it seems as though we were lucky enough to experience things not typically on the tourist trail, as well as lots which are of course!

There are many more things to write but all I will say is that it was one of the most unforgettable experiences and we highly recommend...

We travelled to Morocco for 3 weeks with our two children at the end of June 2025. We stayed one night in the desert, at the Tiziri annex camp. We also used their private transportation service for the full duration of our trip. ||Annex camp - Our night in the desert was in early July, during low season, when the regular camp is not open because of the heat. We therefore stayed at the annex camp, located in Merzouga. We were concerned that we wouldn’t get the same desert experience at the annex camp, but we absolutely loved it. We arrived around 6:00 p.m, and left the next morning at 9:00 a.m., since it was too hot for outdoor activities between 10:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. We had a nice spacious tent which was perfect for our family of four. All of the meals were served in a common air conditioned tent nearby. The food was very good and it was obvious that the staff worked hard to make sure that every detail was taken care of. While a one night stay was not very long to soak it all in, we were able to enjoy the camel ride at sunset, music by the fire at night, and woke up early the next day to catch the sunrise. ||Private transportation - We made a last minute decision to book private transportation for the full duration of our 3-week trip. This was possible due to the fact that it was low season and didn’t require booking many months in advance. The service included not only the transportation between the cities we were visiting (Casablanca - Chefchaouen - Fez - Ifrane - Mergouza - Dades Valley - Marrakech - Essaouira), but also any transportation required during our leisure days. From the moment we arrived at the airport in Casablanca, until the very end of our trip, our driver/guide Hsayn was amazing. He was happy to follow our beat and to remain available to drive us anywhere we wanted to go, all the while providing us with recommendations for things to do in the different cities we visited. We learned so much about Morocco through him (history, culture, etc.) and felt comfortable asking him all of our questions. He would find the best spots to make short stops to enjoy the beautiful scenery and to take pictures. We definitely got to see some great places that we would have missed, but for him. Our daughter required a vaccine during the trip, and Hsayn went out of his way to find and bring us to the appropriate clinics. He was very kind and funny, and we really enjoyed travelling around the country with him.||Moha from Tiziri Camp took care of the booking process for both the annex camp and the private transportation. He was quick to answer all of my emails, and always provided clear information on the different services offered and the prices. Different payment options were available, including using Wise, which was practical. Overall, we are very pleased with our experience. A big thank you to Hsayn,...
