The Experience

In Tagounite, where the wind remembers every step, this place keeps alive the fire of the old nomads🔥 Our farm is small, but the spirit here is vast — born of patience, sand, and prayer. We live by the rhythm of the sun, share bread with strangers who become family, and honor the silence that teaches more than words Whoever comes here doesn’t just visit they return to something ancient within themselves. For in the desert, the land owns you

Zakaria was a great host and went out of his way to show me around Tagounite and visit places I otherwise would not see. His mother cooks amazing meals and his family is very friendly. I learned about making bricks, harvesting dates, and feeding sheep while the pace was very relaxed with zero stress. The traditional house is quite large and very quiet out in the countryside away from the middle of town. I wish him all the best and would recommend him for an authentic stay on the farm. Thanks Zakaria!
