New Year's Eve in the Sahara at Douz
Amazing experience! We spent new years eve at the Sahara of Douz. The tants are basic, and might be cold especially in December during the night. Everything was well planned and we had a good service. Fire camps, delicious food, nice folcloric show, camel rides in the morning, breathtaking sunset in the dunes of the desert.. The organizing team were helpful as well. Highly recommend!

We camped in the Sahara over New Year's
We camped here during New Year's and had a blast! It was amazing to see the Sahara. We had a huge, traditional dinner and enjoyed several cultural activities. Bring layers, it was chilly and windy in January!

Night in the desert
The experience was great I would just like a bit more communication from the people running the experience We were a bit confused as to what to bring and where to go and what to expect. But it was really cool

Expérience en pleine tempête de sable
Nous étions un peu déçus de notre expérience dans le désert. En raison d’une tempête de sable le jour de notre arrivée, il n’a pas été possible de partir en excursion individuelle avec un guide. Nous avons donc été contraints à rester au camp avec un grand groupe de touristes assez bruyants, ce qui a rendu l’expérience bien moins immersive que ce que nous avions imaginé. Mais l’équipe sur place a été très accueillante et a fait de son mieux pour rendre notre séjour mémorable. Et malgré les circonstances, nous avons tout de même pu faire une balade à dos de chameau — une belle expérience et un moment fort de notre séjour!
