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

The home 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!

Your presence added real warmth and harmony to Dar Nomad. We’re so happy you connected with the people, the rhythm, and the peace of our desert home that’s exactly what this place is about.
You’ll always have a family waiting for you here under the stars. Inshallah we’ll share tea, laughter, and music again soon

I had the chance to stay a week in the home. This place is really unique, the people are amazing, the energy and global atmosphere in the home 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 😊

It means a lot to know that Dar Nomad felt like home to you that’s exactly what we wish for everyone who visits. Your good spirit and kindness blended perfectly with the rhythm of our desert life.
You’ll always have a place here among the dunes, the tea, and the laughter of our small family. Inshallah, we’ll see you again under the Sahara stars

Staying at the home 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 !
