About the project
- Hosted by Youness Kandil
The group will be supported by a dedicated local team, comprised of a community development non-profit and experienced Berber community members from the High Atlas Mountains. This team includes cultural guides, local artisans, and project coordinators. For several years, this organization has been crucial in preserving Berber heritage, promoting sustainable tourism, and initiating educational programs that empower women and youth in remote villages. Their mission is to bridge cultural gaps and drive economic development that respects the environment and local traditions, ensuring the group's activities have a direct, positive footprint on the community.
About the destination
Located in the laid-back village of Tamraght on Morocco's stunning Atlantic coast, this experience immerses you in a world-class surf hub rich in Amazigh culture. Far from the crowded city centers, you’ll be surrounded by sweeping coastlines, rolling sand dunes, and the foothills of the Atlas Mountains. It is a safe, welcoming neighborhood where surf culture blends seamlessy with traditional life, offering easy access to beaches, local cafes, and vibrant markets.
Impact & Purpose
This experience addresses the lack of authentic connection in modern tourism. Instead of just observing, travelers become part of the community ecosystem. By choosing this journey, you directly support local jobs—from surf instructors to transport partners—ensuring that tourism dollars benefit the people who call this coastline home, fostering cultural pride and economic stability.
This host contributes to Sustainable Development Goals
Good health and well-being
By participating, travelers actively support Good Health and Well-being within the community. The project generates consistent income for local staff and partners, providing financial stability that grants families better access to healthcare and essential resources.
Decent work and economic growth
Travelers contribute to Decent Work and Economic Growth by prioritizing locally-run businesses. Every surf lesson, excursion, and meal purchased creates fair employment opportunities for youth and residents, strengthening the local economy against seasonality.
Partnerships for the goals
This experience is built on a global partnership between travelers, the local non-profit, and the Berber community. This collaboration strengthens the means of implementation and revitalizes the global partnership for sustainable development in the Atlas region.
