Program Details

Live, cook, and connect in the heart of the Moroccan desert. Join our family in Tagounite where we share meals, stories, and the timeless rhythm of desert life. Learn how to cook traditional Moroccan dishes like tajine, couscous, and Berber pizza—then enjoy them together under the stars.

This is more than just cooking—it’s about connection, culture, and living slowly with purpose.

Activities & Shift

Each day, you’ll take part in preparing 3 shared meals with us and fellow travelers. We rotate the kitchen tasks, so everyone gets a turn. When not cooking, you may help with gardening, decorating, or simple house care.

Shifts are about 3 hours/day, giving you time to rest, learn, or explore. On warm evenings, we eat outside while the sun melts into the dunes. On cool nights, we gather inside and share stories by candlelight.

Rules

Here, there are no strict rules only mutual respect.
We ask you to be present, flexible, and kind. Water is sacred; please use it mindfully.
We live slowly, without schedules. Cooking is shared. Stories are too.
Be open. Be curious. Be part of the flow.
