Being at the camp was a nice experience. Really chill and relaxed environment, good good, amazing view and sunset. The staff was nice and I felt comfortable around them, the work was easy

The views from the camp are fantastic, its the perfect place to go to spend some time alone with the surroundings or even write a book! Its a 20 minute drive from town, very secluded, so I recommend especially for those who can handle themselves accordingly. The camp is very self sufficient, running mainly on solar power, ideal for going off the grid if you wish. A power bank is a helpful thing to bring if you cant go without electronics. Lots of good people involved, I made many friends while there. The work is small, and mbark will work with you to make the schedule you prefer. Would return!

I had a great time here, connecting with nature. I think the best amount of time to stay is between one week and two weeks. We spent most of our time working pulling plants for Mbark's goats, two hours in the morning and another one hour in the afternoon. I had a great time with the other staff as well, they made me feel very at home. I am glad that I went with my boyfriend because I felt very safe with him there!

I stayed a bit more then 1week, could have been more honestly The Place Is perfect, if you want to connect with yourself and the nature. The nights are animated by the camp fire and the soothing Stars. Make sure you see the sunrise and sunset it's breathtaking. M'barek and everyone in the camp are very nice, I learned a lot about the desert, about the plants about the culture. The work was easy, it would be nice to have new projects, there are so many things volunteers can do. I totally recommend it, and I can't wait to come back. Thanks for everything to M'barek, Mohammed, Hassan and Said!
