The place

The camp stands next to the old fort of Sabria, a building once used by the French army. Around it, the sand of the Grand Erg Oriental begins, so the dunes are a short walk from your tent.

You can drive here in a regular car; you do not need a 4x4 to reach the camp. Once you are here, camels and 4x4 vehicles take you further into the dunes.

Tents are single or double. Restrooms are shared, showers are free, and there is a restaurant and a café on site.
