This project the home good if you are a digital the home and you need a place where to spend a lot of time on your job. In fact the working hours per day are few and not heavy. The house the home simple, but Mohamend's family the home very welcoming. I left the project some days before than what I planned, because I was expecting more interaction with local people from the village. Mohamed was very understanding about it and we said "goodbye" without any resentment.

Thank you for your feedback. I understand that you were hoping for more interaction with the local community. As I mentioned, we make sure to welcome guests with care and ensure they have a great experience, but it’s also important to respect our way of life here. The work hours are light because we believe in creating a balance between doing meaningful tasks and enjoying the tranquility of the desert. We kept things simple for you, knowing that your needs were different from others. Our lifestyle and values may not always meet everyone’s expectations, but we are happy to host those who respect it. It was good to have you with us, even if some conversations didn’t flow as naturally. Wishing you all the best :)

I've been in the communityfor a week and it was an amazing experience! Because of the fact that it was my first volunteer experience I was a little nervous about that but Mohamed and family made me feel very safe, physically and mentally. I was with 2 other girls volunteers, and we had a lot of fun together. I recommend this experience because, even if their way of living is very very different from mine, they made me feel at home and I appreciate that a lot. It was a strong and immersive experience and I had the possibility to live the local life. The sky in the communitywas very wonderful

Living as a nomad and experiencing the Berber culture was an unforgettable experience. Mohamed, with whom we spent most of our time, doesn't speak English, but that didn't stop us from having a harmonious coexistence. Barak speaks a bit more English and is extremely kind and welcoming. The work always takes place at sunset and is quite relaxed.

My experience in the nomadic community was culturally immersive and rewarding. Mbarak, is the father of Mohamed, and who manages the account. He's really kind and always made sure we were ok. The small town required a walk to the village to buy essentials. The work was flexible involving clay block construction, yet we had ample free time to engaged with locals. We stayed in the house with Mohamed. He doesn't speak english, so communication sometimes was difficult but we learned few Arabic words. Despite the challenges of heat and flies, I recommend this impactful experience. Shukran !

Spent 5 nights with Mubarak and the rest. Was cool, I got to know the amazigh life from the inside, we got invited to a typical house to eat and got always together for every meal. This is a place to really relax and don't think about productivity. Mubarak (Mohammed is his son, not sure why they use this name) was really really nice with us, always trying to please us... We didn't really do much labour honestly, always willing to help with cleaning and so on ofc. Communication was a bit hard at times, although there were other people there to help translating for us. Whish you the best.

Une très belle expérience enrichissante qui m'ont permis de sortir de ma zone de confort mais surtout de m'imprégner de la culture Marocaine "Berbère". Les garçons ont été accueillants Pratico-Pratique Pour les transport pour arriver à Tagounite : - Prendre le CTM (bus) de Marrakech jusqu'à Tagounite (09H20 de route) : 158 MAD - Ensuite MBarzk nous attend avec un TUKTUK : 30 MAD Excursions - Une nuitée dans le Sahara ( une expérience splendide que je n'oublierai jamais) : 100 MAD - Journée à la montagne avec un grillade : cout pour le carburant

Merci pour ce retour précieux et plein de cœur. On est heureux que le désert t’ait parlé, que tu sois sortie de ta zone de confort pour entrer dans le rythme lent de notre culture. Ici, on ne vend pas des expériences on les vit, ensemble, autour d’un thé ou sous un ciel étoilé. Reviens quand tu veux, la porte est toujours ouverte, et Mbarak aussi avec son tuk-tuk.

Positivos: Prática de idiomas Contato com viajantes Conhecimento do cotidiano local Trabalha pouco Negativos: Foco no lucro; Mesmo comprando toda a comida, me pediram dinheiro (apesar dos cartazes dizendo que o voluntário pode escolher). Refeições escassas com muitos voluntários Local não é perto do deserto Me disseram que eu precisava pedir permissão para sair do vilareijo; alegam perigo, mas oferecem tours muito mais caros que no vilareijo mais próximo Não tem chuveiro Camas ruins Não tem água potável Você tem que pagar por internet Vejo como negócio, não voluntariado.

José, apreciamos a sua sinceridade, mas é importante lembrar que viajar e explorar não são apenas experiências de lazer ou para fazer fotos. Trata-se de uma jornada de descoberta de novas culturas, de respeitar os costumes locais e de valorizar uma vida mais simples. A vida no deserto pode ser desafiadora, e é essencial ter uma mente aberta para compreender e se adaptar a esse estilo de vida. Esperamos que, em suas próximas viagens, você possa aprender a respeitar e a valorizar as comunidades que visita.
