A tall golden dune in the morning, a few footprints

Eco-camping · M’ssici, Morocco

The quiet of the desert, in M’ssici

A camp, a farm and a village between Alnif and Rissani, on the edge of the dunes.

The place

A family-run camp between the dunes and the palm grove.

Life here follows the farm and the light. Days pass between the olive fields, the palm grove and the village; evenings around the fire, under a sky with no artificial light.

An open Berber tent on the dunes, rugs and cushions

Stay

Nomad tents, simply comfortable

Six furnished Berber tents and twenty pitches for your own, a few steps from the washrooms and the café.

Breakfast is served facing the dunes: msemen, amlou and mint tea.

Green irrigated fields between date palms

The farm

Fields, palms and animals

Olives, dates and turnips grow the way they have for generations. The goats and camels are part of the family.

Join the harvest or the milking, or simply walk along the irrigation channels.
