Philanthropic tours - Visiting the Desert Nomads with Camp Adounia

Image
Visiting the Sahara Desert is an amazing experience of it's own.  Sitting under millions of stars at night and enjoying the stillness in view and energy is something else.  It's a wonderful remembering of time gone by when we were all living in harmony with the land and the same cycle. You cannot help but feel profoundly moved by the experience of earthing and getting away from all electrical and other polutions. In conjunction with Magestic Disorder Magazine they have been awarded a space at 'Voice for Change Exhibition in London' for their piece on Desert Nomads with Camp Adounia please come to the 'Private View' on 14 January 2015 in London. At our Ecological Camp in the Sahara, Camp Adounia we have set up a Fare Trade project with the Berber Nomads of the Desert.  Not only can you enjoy the wonderful dunes and energy of the Sahara but you can come on a Real Tour with us to visit the Berber Nomads.  The Nomads in the Sa

Desert Camp Christmas and New Year in Morocco

Come and spend a wonderful Christmas and New Year at Camp Adounia in the Sahara of Morocco.  Perfect for groups we have 7 tents, fantastic chefs, wonderful musicians.  Groups can take the Spa ladies with them for treatments. A superb new year under the stars which are amazing at this time of year.  The camp is only 40 minutes from Mhamid in the Moroccan Sahara Desert but still in the most amazing sand dunes and away from it all.  There are many cultural tours to do as well which include visiting nomad settlements, oasis and ancient kasbahs. Come and party under the stars at one with the dunes on New Years Eve! Email me for more information team@campadounia.com - 00212661215062

Comfortable Eco Desert Camp - Sahara Morocco

Image
Our comfortable Ecological Desert Camp in the Desert of Morocco is now open for the new season.  Situated in pretty dunes with stylish interiors from Emma's shop Because the camp is only 40 minutes from Mhamid you can go on a number of our cultural tours.  These are brilliant with families.  There is a wonderful museum in Mhamid an ancient Kasbah made from mud and filled with hitorical items from the history of this region and its tribes.  Mhamid also has a lovely oasis and a number of ancient Kasbah's and shrines.  Its worth doing a camel treck for one or two hours around Mhamid.  When at the camp you already have your driver with you which is a great advantage.  Our desert guide Iklaf can accompany you on a half day historical tour to a number or interesting sites such as the Oasis of Nesrat or why not go and visit a nomadic home and chat about their way of life.  On a half day trip out of the desert camp we pack you up a nice picknic to take.
