Velaria Luxury Camp

The place is wonderful but could not be otherwise, the camp is in the middle of nowhere and sleeping under the stars is priceless however there are some things to report.
Let’s start by saying that the tents are very large, with private bathroom and therefore very comfortable, but unfortunately there was neither heating nor hot water. In a period like March where temperatures especially at night are still low this can become a serious problem. In the end, to sleep we put under three layers of blankets in addition to the duvet but in the morning the awakening was traumatic.
We still ate well, both for breakfast and dinner and the guys who run the camp were kind and considerate

Nice stay in the desert. Brahim was very helpful and welcoming. We enjoyed the sunset camel ride and the evening with music around the fire. Comfortable tents and a good overall experience

Our family had an amazing experience - I wish we had more than one night! Hassan in particular makes this place incredible. He and the rest of the staff really go out of their way to accommodate all you needs. Even for our short visit, he helped us squeeze in a camel ride to the resort, a sunset ATV tour, sand boarding, a swim in their pool next to the dunes, drumming/dancing by the fire, late night stargazing, and sunrise photos over the dunes. Even the 4x4 transfer back to our vehicle was an adventure. I would recommend all these activities. The camel ride was unique and fun - after an hour your backside can be a little sore (unless you sit cross-legged) but it’s totally worth it. And definitely worth it to stay up for the star gazing in the dunes. The food for dinner and breakfast was very tasty. Recommend bringing a bottle of wine to have at sundown. Rooms are cozy and showers decent. Hard to prevent sand from getting everywhere, but that’s part of the experience. Recommend buying a scarf in town before arrival (the staff will help you tie it) as well as a glass vial to collect sand from the Sahara.

You have hundreds of camps to choose from and they all offer the same activities but no other camp will leaving you feeling like you were welcomed into the Berber community like you are family. Mohamed, his family and his staff provide a unique, authentic Sahara experience like no other. They work tirelessly to ensure you have a personalized and full service holiday that you will never forget. From 4x4 rides to a Berber camp to fossil hunting to learning how to survive in the dessert to musical performances and a beautiful lunch in Mohamed’s sister’s house. Followed by ATVing,a sunset camel ride. After a beautiful dinner, chill by the fire to hear live music and dance if you like. Before bed, take a walk in the dessert to take pictures of the star filled sky. Before you leave, rise early with Mohamed to take sunrise photos. Thank-you Mohamed and all your people for beautiful memories that will last a lifetime. We will see you again some day ❤️🐪

We had the ride with the camels to the camp, was fun and I love that the camels were respected and they take good care of them. At the camp the food was great, the camp fire and the music was relaxing and intresting. We also had a experience to look at the stars and take some night time pictures.
And the best part was the ATV ride back to the city. We were lucky that only me and my girlfriend wanted the ride back with ATV and the guide saw we are experienced drivers and we had a pretty intense ride. 10/10! Fully recommend

The camp in the entire Sahara.
Very comfortable, the food was exquisite the staff was incredibly friendly and the owner, MOHAMED, is a wonderful person (he speaks perfect English) and very attentive to even the smallest details. We took a 4x4 tour and a quad bike ride. And it was truly good
We'll be back, Mohamed.

This place is wonderful. The rooms are comfortable. Both dinner and breakfast are really good. Staff are very helpful. I couldn't ask for more. It is worth to stay here and highly recommended.

Amazing place to stay. We booked for 2 nights and I am glad we did so! MOHAMED is a fantastic host! This was definitely the highlight of our roadtrip in Marroco. You should definitely consider activities such as camel riding at sunset time, 4x4 tour and buggy riding on the dunes, we did all of them and it was really worth it.
Obrigado Mohamed! 😎

We booked a 2 night stay as we really wanted to enjoy a full day in the camp. We arrived late on our first day at around 18:30 and had a welcome tea. We were then taken to watch the sunset by a 4x4 - our driver was keen to take pictures of us and everyone on our car. We came back and around 20:30 dinner was served. Then we enjoyed local music. The next day we booked ATVs (which are paid organized by the camp). Our ATV guide was professional and the ATVs were brand new along with clean and really good helmets. You can also get a paid tour in the Sahara by a 4x4 but we decided not take it as we wanted some time to chill and experience the camp. The guys at the camp are very friendly and it’s a pleasure having a conversation with them. Hassan we always available and even brought my friend a cigar pack as we ran out of Dhirams. Dinner and breakfast was delicious. WiFi connection was good. Book your stay on this camp and you surely won’t regret it!

Our Sahara desert experience was nothing short of magical! The traditional tents were amazing, offering all the comforts needed for an unforgettable stay The delicious food, music, and dancing around the fire created an enchanting atmosphere. The staff's friendliness was exceptional, and Hassan, an absolute legend, stood out with his knowledge and genuine care for ensuring our best possible experience. Highly recommend this extraordinary adventure to everyone

We had a great stay in Merzouga The camp was clean and nicely designed, and the location in the dunes is beautiful The team was welcoming and helpful during our stay They also helped us organize a camel ride and some desert activities, which we enjoyed Overall it was a pleasant experience
