    Highlight of our trip to Tunisia

    Liked : Fantastic stay in Camp Mars - so unique and the scenery is just spectacular.

    Disliked : The facilities are basic, but that's the point!

    Great stay, thank you.

    Liked : The staff were all very friendly and even with the language barrier about times were clearly keen to make stay as pleasurable as possible.

    Remember to take a torch as the tents have no power or candles. This is to be expected by most at this type of property, but it might help someone.

    Some people compare the stay other desert camps - it is not a luxury stay, but it is a pleasant one and if you throw yourself into the experience you'll love it. I've stayed overnight in wadi rum and while not as polished, this was every bit as enjoyable. Our driver for the transfer was friendly and clearly speaks three languages to most people's one. The bar/restaurant staff speak mainly French and Arabic with a little English and I believe some German. If you go in with some French or some humility you'll enjoy your visit.

    Disliked : The transfer cost should be put into the booking up front rather than in the additional details. Make the cost clear from the outsetnand that the transfer is an absolute must. Clients will see the value up front!

    Very comfortable camp!

    Liked : Very nicely made camp site - of the desert camps I visited this was the most comfortable one. Very friendly staff, good food, perfectly clean (more than most other normal accomodations we stayed at). We very much appreciated how good care they seem to take for the 3 camels that were there. Communication about the driver, price etc. was transparent (it was possible to share the drive with other guests and divide the price).

    Disliked : A bit pricy compared to camps in Jordan or Morocco or other accomodation in Tunisia. But understandable considering there is not many camps there, location is really remote.

    the night under a million stars

    Liked : Unique experience - the night under a million stars.
    Location in the middle of absolutely nothing. 100km from Douz.
    The camp can help you organize a transfer and during the transfer you can also experience different views of the Sahara.
    Additional paid dinner is very tasty.

    Disliked : Note: it's not complaining, it's just a warning for those who are looking for 5-star all-inclusive hotels with a pool.
    If you have a looking for all-inclusive - you are in the wrong place.
    This is a Camp in the Sahara desert, so do not expect a pool or hot shower.
    Leaving with a drive at 9am might not enough to experience Sahara a bit more - if you need more time - consider staying here for two nights.

    Unique experience in the Sahara

    Liked : The location in the Sahara is superb! The sunset from the dune is beautiful and the tents are very comfortable. The camp is a relaxed place and diner and breakfast are well arranged (note: you have to book diner separatly). They arranged a very nice driver who speaks very well English. Note: you have to book the private driver separatly also. All was a great experience.

    Stunning place in the desert

    Liked : Camp Mars is a must go if you wanna experience the desert and you dont have time for a big tour. The views are stunning and it is a truly unique experience. If you ask yourself how long you should stay: 1night is enough! We also did a short camel ride there which was very nice.

    Disliked : Before booking, it was not fully transparent to us that we needed to pay this much for the transfer. The car we got actually broke down on our way back, and our driver told us it hadn't been to the garage in a while, so that was quite dangerous with 45 degrees.

    Great camp in the middle of the desert where you feel very welcome

    Liked : Incredible place in the middle of desert. Very good dinner and camel riding in the sand - super nice! And the evening bread ritual around the fire was very beautiful. Very friendly people.

    Disliked : We could not leave later then 9h30 the next day. So if you stay only one night, respect the time they drive you to the camp in order to not to have your stay too short.
    A bit more of ligting in the tento would be useful.

    Magic Place

    Liked : We have had a great time staying at Camp Mars. The camp is in the middle of nowhere, in a remote location in the middle of giant dunes, It is really an alien place. Yet with all the comforts to enjoy a great experience. The food was delicious and the staff very friendly. I 100% recommend this place, sunset and sunrise are magic !

    Disliked : all good
