Visit Kamilia Village, where you can enjoy a cup of tea and a concert of local Gnawa music. Discover the abandoned village of Mefis and its old mines from the French colonial era. Meet a nomad family living in tents and learn about their way of life.

Each luxury tent comes with its own private bathroom, complete with a shower, soap, shampoo, and towels. You are required to bring your own towel and shower accessories due to the communal hot showers outside the tent at Comfortable Tent.
