Dar Nomad Where Souls Catch Their Breath

Welcome to Dar Nomad The Soul of the desert 🐪

Here in Tagounite, at the edge of the endless dunes, we’re not running a guesthouse we’re holding space for something real.
Dar Nomad is an old family house we’re slowly recovering, by hand and with heart. It’s more than walls it’s stories, silence, and the rhythm of desert life.

We host travelers and volunteers not as guests, but as family. You’ll help where your skills shine filming, photography, online work, gardening, painting, sharing tea, or simply listening to the land.

This is not a filtered escape. It’s a return. A reset.
Far from the noise, away from fast tourism, we offer a place to slow down, to reconnect, and to contribute.
You’ll work with us to rebuild this space with meaning one plant, one page, one cup of mint tea at a time.

Whether you’re an artist, storyteller, dreamer, or just someone looking to feel again Dar Nomad is calling.
Come walk the dunes, sleep under stars, and learn what stillness really feels like.

This is not a stay. It’s a way.
From the desert, with love.

Dar Nomads was the most off-grid experience I've ever had! I got to understand the local culture much more deeply. The atmosphere is peaceful, there's a lot of time to read, journal, play cards or simply connect with volunteers and locals. Mustafa is responsible of cooking for the volunteers and has the kindest heart! I enjoy speaking with him and during my stay he was very flexible with the work. I also met some of his friends, who were equally kind and often joined us in the evenings. Thank you so much for making me feel so accepted and appreciated in your home. Lots of Love!

We had such a peaceful stay here. Mustafa took great care of us, and cooked the best meals. Walking through the desert with the 4 dogs was the most memorable part. We played music, danced, and cards at night with locals who came to hang out. You can help out in different ways depending on how long you’re there & what skills you have - we only stayed a few days so we mostly read our books, learned some Arabic, and took long sunset walks. Highly recommend to learn more about local culture!

As a note: be prepared for cold bucket showers & squat toilet. It worked well for us :)

Thank you so much, Zahabiya

It was truly a pleasure hosting you and Yunis your good energy and curiosity brought such warmth to Dar Nomad. We’re happy you felt the spirit of the desert and enjoyed the simplicity of nomad life.

You’re always welcome back next time, we’ll have more music, more stars, and maybe even better card players waiting for a rematch

Dar Nomad is a very special place. The people are genuine, kind and welcoming. Being a part of this community is a nourishing experience, and the peace found in this unique place is medicine for the soul. There are many opportunities to learn about local culture, from food preparation, to learning new Arabic words, to music, to inspiring conversations with people from the area. 10/10 recommend!

I had the chance to stay a week in Dar Nomad. This place is really unique, the people are amazing, the energy and global atmosphere in Dar Nomad is also very special. Since the first minutes to the last second there, I felt immediately like home, even tho the culture is very different and the place is thousands of kilometers away from home. I really hope I will get chance to go back one day and enjoy again the quite and slow life in the desert 😊

Staying at Dar Nomad has really been an amazing experience. Anyone wishing to experience a different lifestyle and see what it’s like to live in the desert should volunteer here.

It is a truly peaceful and welcoming place, the hosts really care about their guests and will include you in their everyday lives, meeting friends, going to the market, playing music…

Even the animals welcomes you with open arms. It is the perfect place to learn more about the local culture, history and mindset while having fun and laughing a lot

Bonus points for the food, chef Hamza is a really good cook !
