Azawad Luxury Desert Camp

真是一次滿意的體驗。第一次住在沙漠，感覺非常特別。設施説實話就那樣了，但在沙漠要求不能很高，建議自帶一次性用品。

Beds like slabs of concrete with sheets that are too small for bed. One USB port for whole room, no outlets. No AC (which is understandable), but not even a ceiling fan. Handheld shower nozzle with weak stream and tepid water at best. Food is cold and tasteless. Wait staff is barely acceptable, but they were kowtowing to a table of very loud Spaniards, and we got minimal service. A smile from them can only go so far. The camp’s roadside greeting place in town (where you wait to get the camel or 4x4 into camp) has a riad and a pool area. After a day of touring the surrounding towns, we were told a Jeep would drive us back to camp soon. We waited an hour and fifteen minutes before we started inquiring. A very rude employee whose name I didn’t get said that it only takes us 15 minutes to get to camp but it takes the camel people an hour and a half which didn’t make any sense to me because we were there before them either way. Do not recommend.

Camp was gorgeous! Private tent with king size bed, toilet and shower. The temperature didn't drop over night so it is hot still, and the ride to and from the camp is about 1.5 hours We were told the turbans were necessary, they aren't particularly there were people who didn't bother. Brilliant over night camp - try stargazing at 1 am! Can see many constellations.

We stayed at the camp as part of an organized tour. It was fantastic to ride a camel which we rode to the camp. Once at camp we were informed that the upgraded rooms we booked we were not available. Our booking was for a private shower in each tent. Instead we got private tents with a communal shower and toilets for about 25 people. Shower had no amenities like soap or shampoo although a towel was provided. The food was so-so. Expect tomato soup, tagine, and an orange for dessert which is the same thing you’ll be eating at every restaurant in every restaurant in Morocco. The nights are very cold in Dec and we wore multiple layers to go to bed. No heat in the tents, no extra blankets available on site. The entertainment was someone beating a drum into the early hours of the morning. We took everything in stride considering that we were in the middle of nowhere.

While the room was comfortable enough, we found the experience to be too commercial for us. We took a camel ride to the camp and while my husband and I were by oursleves we travelled in a caravan of about 15 people. The desert itself while looks beautiful you only touch a section of it so can always see town / camps and the desert has a mixture of a lot of people on camels, ATVs, 4x4’s racing around. If you like biking and sand boarding and commercial spots with lots of activities this would be more to your liking. Similar to other reviews I’ve seen, the staff were nice enough but did get the sense they’re there to create a party vibe for big groups. The food was average and strangely enough while it’s an all inclusive type package things like water you need to pay for. Breakfast was very rushed in the morning and we were left a bit confused with no clear instruction of departure time. The rooms were comfortable but the water was luke warm so just a warning in the cold winter months. Tents are very close together and though we had a luxury camp with a private bathroom, privacy is a luxury here. The icing on the cake for us was when we went back to main hotel in the morning and while we were waiting for our transfer we tried to get a cup of coffee that we were happy to pay for and the waiter was really rude to us brushing us off twice with a “I’m busy”. Would recommend this company if you’re young, big group and looking for some commercial fun otherwise would suggest exploring other options.
