Our trip to Tinfou Desert Camp was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived at the green pottery shop, we were welcomed by the incredible Owner who welcomed us with vegetarian couscous’s in his father’s home! Then when we finally arrived at the camp Ali, went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable. The hospitality we received was warm and genuine. He was amazing. The culinary delights were a highlight, especially the chef's amazing talent. To our surprise, he even crafted a delicious vegan birthday cake, which was a lovely personal touch. One of the most enchanting experiences was our private dinner under the stars. Surrounded by the vast desert and twinkling constellations, it truly felt like a dream come true. The Berber music band added to the ambiance, making the evening feel even more special. We had a fantastic private tour of the Sahara, where the beauty of the dunes left us in awe. The tents were luxurious and comfortable, providing a perfect retreat after a day of adventure. Watching the sunsets and sunrises over the desert landscape was breathtaking—moments we’ll cherish forever. We also enjoyed sandboarding on the Tinfou dunes after we watched the sunrise which was thrilling and a great way to embrace the natural beauty of the area. We genuinely felt humbled by the entire experience. It was one of the best times of our lives, and we cannot wait to return, this time bringing more family along. Highly recommend Tinfou Desert Camp for anyone looking to create lasting memories in a stunning setting!

The camp is located within an area of beautiful sand dunes. We loved the peace and quiet surroundings. Just a two sand dunes away and we couldn't hear our boys. Sounds are somehow softened, dispersed. Ah, and the stars 🤩 No light pollution, and no clouds makes a great night sky. The hosts, especially Ali, have taken good care of us and made us feel welcome. Thank you!

The camp is located in a sandy area not too far away from the main road, and the town Zagora is also close. I guess that is the reason why there were other people exploring the dunes other than the camp guests. At afternoon hours it can even get crowded. We didn't mind that, it was simply something unexpected.

We were upgraded to a family room with private bathroom which was awesome. the tent is huge and super comfortable. The location is great and reachable by normal car if you follow the indications given. so close to the road and yet it indeed feels like you are in the middle of the desert. we enjoyed the breakfast, the dinner, the camel ride at sunset and the sand boards (do it early morning or late evening!) the staff was super friendly and kind. a very good value for money!

Nothing we did not like about it if it wasn’t for the wait in order to check in. we spent quite some time waiting in the travel agency-shop “for the sun to cool down” as it was apparently too hot to check in. We would have preferred to know about it beforehand and plan some visit around until 18.00 when we were finally allowed to proceed instead of running after 2 kids in a place full of pottery.. Another minus was the lack of hot water when we had our shower. cold water was though much appreciated after the sand boarding! :)

Staying here was a last minute decision for me and boy did I congratulate myself for it. First off, I was the only guest at the time (female solo traveller) and never did I have any safety worries at any point. The dinner was probably the best tajin I had in Morocco, so flavourful. Lovely kitties everywhere, that was a big bonus. Music circle after dinner around a bonfire which I even participated in with one of their own instruments that they handed to me. Everyone was accepting and embracing. And Ali was an incredible and kind host and a wonderful soul to just talk about life and culture with. They really have nailed the authenticity game here. It is a family run camp and you get immersed in the desert life. You learn a lot from these guys about their culture, way of life, so be curious and take advantage of their openness. Don't go here expecting a 5 star resort and then be disappointed for absolutely no reason - it is a desert camp and this is honestly the best most comfortable or "luxurious" version there can be while still staying authentic. If you have limited time and can't afford to dedicate 2 days to transit to and from Erg Chigaga (one of the two big desert areas/dunes), this absolutely is the place to be.

Before going to the camp we had a very pleasant tour of the kashba and pottery workshop. The tents were large and comfortable. The beds were excellent. Functional bathroom with shower. Very tasty dinner. Friendly host and traditional music after dinner. Sunset camel ride - 15€/person for about 30 minutes. We went to see the sunrise and the host brought a sand board which we could do as many times as we wanted for free.

The dinner, although very tasty, was too expensive. Breakfast was very simple. As a suggestion, I think they could add some decorative details to the outside of the tents and communal areas to make the camp more attractive.

My partner and I were impressed with the location and level of service provided. Ali and his colleagues were super hosts with a big heart, doing everything possible to make sure that guests felt comfortable and enjoyed the desert experience. Breakfast and dinner were delicious, and the location of the camp amongst the dunes is incredible, the silence at night allows for a great night's sleep. Tarik was able to organise and personalise a short camel trip for us; I would recommend going early morning or late afternoon. I would highly recommend the camp, and I hope to be back at some point to what a meteorite shower. Thanks lads!

Tinfou dunes are a very small area and this place is right in the center of it, making most of the environment. The equipment is perfect, well located and provides right desert experience. Our host was fabulous, supportive and despite the fact that I was alone with the family in the whole camp, they treated us with sun set tea, dinner and a show with fire and drums in the evening.

the tents were beautifully decorated inside and the hosts were absolutely lovely, made us feel very at home and welcome in Morocco. very kind hearted people. although the tents are not located IN the Sahara desert, we found that our desire to be in the desert was more than satisfied by the location - especially as we were driving ourselves from Marrakesh and only had a week to fit everything in - it offered us the perfect opportunity to do just that! also, we found it very easy to find the compound; we simply followed the instructions, and met a lovely man in the nearby town we drove in front of us all the way to the tents!

the tent was very loud at night because it was very windy, so it did make it a little hard to sleep but I guess that is tent life!!!

Absolutely the best experience we could imagine! Great location, amazing staff and delicious food. An unforgettable stay! Tents were clean, well equipped and tastefully furnished. Dunes are smaller (do not expect infinite views) but quite sufficient and it is just few minutes from Zagora. You do not need 4x4 to get there. Camp is located in the middle of the dunes and the views are breathtaking! The owner simply does his work with heart. And our guide Ali was the best!

The camp staff really make you feel at home, we spent a few nights here and they really put a lot of effort into making sure we had an amazing stay. They even found out it was my birthday and prepared a surprise cake!
