INARA CAMP
History & Story
In November 2002, during a solo trip to Morocco, Vincent Jaquet was immediately charmed by the Sahara, which sparked a passion for the region. Three months later, at the age of 30, he left Biarritz to settle in the last village of the Draa Valley, M’hamid el Ghizlane, where the road ends and the Sahara dunes begin – a dream destination for him. In 2003, he created Dar Azawad, a 15-room boutique hotel, followed by the first luxury bivouac in Morocco in 2004. This unique concept of accommodation offers an original and authentic experience in this wonderful country. In total, he has designed 5 bivouacs, each one completely different from the others.
In 2012, the author left the Dar Azawad adventure to settle in Marrakech. The following year, in 2013, he created LVDS – Les Vents du Sud, a trip designer agency specializing in the south of Morocco, which manages camps and provides expertise for the production of circuits and excursions for international agencies. For him, hospitality and catering are a true passion. The customer experience in a camp is certainly one of the most extreme in the hospitality industry. Managing camps in the middle of nowhere is the culmination of a true passion.
After attending a hotel school in Dijon, Vincent Jaquet worked in two and three Michelin-starred restaurants with Joel Robuchon and other great chefs. It was with them that he learned the rigor and regularity of his profession. In 2015, he discovered the Agafay desert, a rocky desert located just 30 km from Marrakech. This breathtaking landscape and magical place inspired him to create Inara Camp.
