Experience the beauty of the Sahara with camel rides, exhilarating sandboarding, and yoga sessions under the stars. Engage with local nomadic families, sharing meals and learning about their traditions, or visit the lush Rar Oasis for a refreshing escape. Participate in hands-on cooking experiences to prepare traditional Moroccan dishes. Volunteers typically work a few hours each day, assisting with these activities while enjoying the magic of the desert and the warmth of our community.
