My name is Brahim Labdaa and I was born in the Sahara desert, in a large family line of Amazigh nomads that have spent all their life moving from one place to another. I spent my early childhood living with my family as nomads in the desert until we moved to M’hamid, the last town before the Sahara desert, to start school. It was a difficult transition for me as I was used to living in a peaceful and often silent environment in the desert. Living amongst civilization was challenging for me. So I left school at the age of 15 and moved back to the desert with my cousins. I have lived here for 4 years and once again feel at peace and in harmony with my surroundings. Living in the Sahara is where I truly belong. Returning to the silent and quiet surroundings in the desert made me feel free again. There I found myself, my mind opened once more and I felt I could think clearly. I understood that my heart and my soul belong to the sand dunes and that I didn’t want to live far from this magical land again.

The camp is set a step away from the famous village of Mhamid, staying in our camp gives you the opportunity to watch breathtaking sunsets and sunrises, lose yourself in the silence and peacefulness of our charming Berber tents as well as enjoy Berher campfires with traditional music, excellent traditional dinners and breakfasts. You will also have the chance to join one of our desert tours run by our Berber team.

M'Hamid se trouve dans la vallée du Drâa, une ancienne route caravanière entre le Sahara et le nord du Maroc qui a attiré des populations de différents horizons et a donc connu un brassage ethnique considérable résultant en une structure socio-ethnique très diversifiée et très hiérarchisée M'Hamid El Ghizlane est le point de départ d'excursions vers l'erg Lehoudi, à 12 km au nord, atteignable par la route, et vers l'erg Chegaga au sud, à presque 60 km, atteignable par des pistes, à pieds (trek), à dromadaire ou en 4X4.
