The experience

Salam! I'm a 33 years Marocain man living in Tagounite in a farm house.
Tagounite is a small town near the desert 24km with many taxis. It's a unique place because you will see there beautiful landscapes of sand, mountains, palm trees, goats, donkeys.

There is a souk every thursday and sunday at Tagounite, a lot of typical shops, and thanks to my motorbike, we will visit the area and take the tea with my family, friends, etc..!

Nourish your connection to nature as you dig canals and tend to our vibrant garden. Care for our animal companions, from Sou Sen and Khanaffi to the promise of goats and chickens.

Rekindle the past by restoring old mud-walled rooms, crafting unique entrances and benches. We're building not just walls but bonds, and you're invited to be part of it. Find a deeper purpose as you assist with fundraising and English marketing for our desert tours.
