Maison d'Hôtes Zaouia

Hi,
I am the nomad Abdelhak, they called me Abdul, I am from the Sahara with nomad origins. When I grow up I had an idea which I believe deeply and that I will never change, the idea is to share the tradition of nomads with others, for this reason I’ve made a guest house, because is the best way to have a very big family. The aspiration in my life is to have a big family from different places in the world and to let know to everyone the beauty of my nomad culture.

Bivouac Erg lmhazile

Bivouac Erg lmhazile is a bivouac between dunes near the big dune called Erg lmhazil.
It consists of traditional nomads tent in a very calm place where you will live the traditional nomad life in a familiar way. You will pass the night under lots of brilliants stars, relaxed near a big fire and listening local live music.

We have planned and tested a wide range of excursions and tours in order to satisfy the most different needs of our guests. Depending on the guest and the time he have, we organise trip to the dunes with camels, we call it caravans trip, starting from a nomad site two hours far, we can go for two days till two weeks in dunes with tents and all the necessary we can need to discover the life style of nomads, and also we will see in our way the families of nomads and we will understand and live the real nomad life.

My guest house, “The paradise of the desert” how the called it, it’s a traditional house where long time ago I lived with my parents and when my parent moved away I started to use it for clients.
The house is 67 kilometres far from Foum Zguid in the direction of M’Hamid Elghazlane it is in the oasis Zauiat Sidi Abd Nabi, on the north of lake Iriki.
If you have a 4x4 you can come driving in a desert piste, and if you don't have it we can organise the transport for our clients.
In the guest house every one have a room and we live together as a family in the small village habitant of Zauiat.
The house consist of :
_Four double rooms for sleeping
_A wonderful traditional bath, a hammam
_Toilet
_Shower
_A big room for eating, relaxing and share social moments
_The place of happiness, an open patio situated in the middle of the house, where during the nights, in front of a fire, we tell stories of nomads and we also play nomadic music,
_Hdeb Njoum, it’s a place where we can see stars in the night drinking tea
_We organise also many other activities…
