The host was very welcoming and knowledgable on the local area, including organising a tour in the desert on a very short notice. He welcomed us very late in the evening and even provided us dinner. Very nice alternative experience to staying in one of the larger camps in the desert.

We arrived in Merzouga in the evening and were welcomed with tea and snacks before indulging in the most delicious dinner we had in Marocco. Sleeping in one of the tents and waking up for the sunrise, hanging out with the dromedaries, and meeting Lhou and his family... We truly couldn't have asked for more, except for more time maybe :) If you are planning on exploring the dunes and making the most of your time in and around Merzouga, make sure to talk with Lhou before booking another tour online. He has his own dromedaries, knows people in town and will be able to help you put together the desert experience of your dreams. I cannot wait to be back one day!

Everything was amazing. We felt like home. The food was delicious, he even made some lunch for our trip and organised a spontaneous camel trip. I highly recommend to stay with Hassan. It was a pleasure and I'd love to come back.

Nothing really, everything was super😊

It was super pure experience, like the desert should be. But pure with commodity as well. The tangine is the best I have tried in the whole Morocco, highly recommend! Lhou is the kindest and most honest host I’ve met in Morocco, I am very grateful to him. Definitely if I go back to Merzouga I’m coming here!!

Hassan was an amazing host. The atmosphere of the place was very authentic, peaceful, safe and very clean. Even though you experience the berber camp feeling you have everything you need. The breakfast was extremly generous, could feed a whole family, big variety and you shouldn't miss Hassan's and his family's dinner, which was the best in our trip. Hassan has his own dromedars and will arrange you any kind of trip you want. If you are lucky Hussain will be your tour guide and your day will be packed with lots of laughs and smiles.

I know it's supposed to be good for you but damn I had a rough time sleeping on those firm mattresses. Easily fixed by putting a wee blanket underneath the sheet, and to be fair I didn't mention it to L'hou so he might have had a stash of ultra-luxe mattresses in the back! Legit Berber experience tho- these dudes don't carry around stupid big mattresses! Again, authenticity! I guess this bad comment turned out to be quite good... Also just to say I object to the union flag on these reviews! I'm from SCOTLAND YO

Nomad Bivouac outstrippingly exceeded my expectations in every single aspect- i loved every second of my time in Merzouga and it's mostly because I was able to just cruise back home to the most chill, beautiful little courtyard in the desert and watch the stars. 'Berber' means "free man", and i genuinely felt like a free man when i was here. No pressure, no hassle, just honesty, good vibes and a safe, comfortable place to stay before heading out for more wandering in the desert. The location won't be for everyone because it's like a 15 min walk from the main madness of Merzouga, but to be fair, Nomad Biv makes all the other hostels look like Disneyland; super fake and plastic. Nomad Bivouac is authentic, tranquil, and just the most REAL experience of the Berber. I ate a hearty, delicious brekkie EVERY morning, and at night, kindly prepared at a time that suited me, a generous, bubbling hot, fresh vegetable tagine. If I live to be an old man I'll be telling stories about this place forever. Massive respect to L'hou and his terrific family, and super COOL cousins. Good luck with the garden, champ. Love.

Everything. We had an incredible time with Hassein and his family in this beautiful home like hostel that is courtyard with individual rooms with their own entrance. Piping hot water and so clean. The dinner and breakfast were some of the best meals we ate in Morocco and Hassein cooks them himself. So helpful to show and share one’s life with one and they have their own camels which they look after so beautifully. It is away from the tourist side of Mazouga and easy to get to the sand dunes. Anyone wanting a more authentic and genuine experience of a nomadic family and their stories should def stay here. A true highlight of our trip.

The owner is very nice, breakfast was great

A little far in terms of walking to get to the dunes (but as you'll see from the high dunes, nothing is close to them)

The owner was super nice, met us at the bus stop, and took us home, even though we didn't ask, it was a wonderful surprise. There was a great dinner and breakfast.

Exceptional place with exceptional host! Hassan is the definition of Moroccan hospitality, very helpful, always looked after us, provided transportation, nice ways to spend time and interesting stories. Location is 20 minutes walking from dunes, but you can rent a camel on a spot or walk really comfortably. 10/10 in every aspect. Traditional food (simple but delicious) is served for breakfast, fresh fruit, water, whatever you need. Shaded common area is great for socializing. Simply amazing!

Hassan is an amazing host. I arrived very early, and with no notice, he prepared the room for me with no issues and made me feel like family all the time. He booked me a trip to spend the night on the dessert 100% recommended and very good price!! If you want to experience the real deal in merzouga, this is the place you have to stay!!

Host and Food was above expectations. Very authentic experience

A simple but very organized and clean "camp site". Hosted by an amazing host Hassan. He can organize overnight trips to the dessert with you (prize was 65€/75€ depending on the itinerary), which are a bit less touristy than other offers. His dinners are probably the best food you will have in Morocco, albeit a tad expensive, but in our opinion still worth it. If we ever return to Morocco we are going here again.

Nothing, all was good. Simple life, happy life! Ps. The lake that appear in Google Maps has been dry for more than 5 years! That was a surprise 😂

Everything, the warm welcome, the peace of the tents and the delicious dinner prepared by the host, best vegetarian tagine I had in my whole Moroccan trip! I was leaving in the early morning and Hassan was so kind to pack me the breakfast for the trip and bring me to the bus stop in motorbike. Thanks again for your kindness.

Outside there is just a Label Nomad Bivouac without Restaurant...pity because the Chef is very good!!!! ;-))))

La Grandeur de la Semplicitè. It was amazing...very high Quality/Price and Hassan is always ready to give the best for an enjoyable stay. The road to go there is perfect and with Gps Coordinates no problem. Last but not least Breakfast is really great. We have dinner there and was really super with a really good price. The Chef is excellent!!!! A place I am sure will be again there in the next trip.

Nomadic in a name and nature, this bivouac was everything I hoped it would be. The meals were fantastic and authentic to the region and the service was great. The bivouac is minimalist and simple, but was a great experience and rest stop.

nothing. We are very satisfied with the camp.

Fantastic owner Lhou who is friendly and catered to our needs. We used this camp as a base for our Sahara Desert adventure. We spent one unforgettable night in a luxurious camp offered by Lhou. Lhou prepared a delicious grilled lamb and chicken dinner for us. After dinner, he serenaded us by playing the guitar and drums. He also advised us to take the Supratour bus from Merzouga to Tinghir and bought the tickets for us. We appreciated very much his warm hospitality. We highly recommend his camp because of his amazing hospitality and tremendous value although the facilities are simple but clean.

If you are deciding which accommodation to choose in merzouga, stop looking because you’ve found it! everything from the room to the bathroom facilities to the meals was amazing. Hassan is the best host we have encountered in our travels! He is so welcoming and accommodating for your every need. We booked 3 nights at Nomad Bivouac for honestly the best price you could get for any accommodation comparable and were interested in all the desert activities which Hassan provides! We had the options of camel trekking, 4x4, or ATV all through Hassan and we chose to do the camel trek overnight into the desert which his cousin leads. Was a wonderful experience and the convenience of booking was great. Delicious and plentiful breakfast (by far the best we have had in our 3 week trip in Morocco), and dinner for 100 dirham per person with a very large entreè followed by an even larger tajine, also THE BEST dinner we have had in our entire stay visiting 5 other cities/ towns in Morocco. It is the most food we have had for the price and the quality outranks anywhere else so definitely get it every night! Book with Hassan and make unforgettable memories thanks to this lovely man. We will be recommending him to everyone coming his way :)
