We are a couple Dutch 44 and Tunisian 32 setting up a horse farm in the very South of Tunisia, in Douz in a Bedouin culture.
We have 7 horses, 3 dogs and 2 cats to look after.
From the end of September until the end of May we organise horse and dromedary trekkings through the Tunisian Sahara.

We only take experienced horse riders as volunteers! Others are very very welcome as (paying) guests.

During summer you can expect a lot of Bedouin weddings, for photographers a must to experience!

The ranch has been build next to the all year green oasis with date palms.
Training, riding and caring, mucking out, feeding, hoofcare and looking after the equipment for the horses is the main work.

We are still busy building the ranch house and have lots of maintenance and building work to do, setting tiles, painting, etc.
The place has not yet electricity or current water.
8 stables have been build, and we have a waterwell with all year round fresh and cool water.

Next to the work with the horses and the building of the house and stables, we are looking for a french teacher familiar with illiterate dyslexic.

We welcome every enthustiastic person who can pay a contribution in costs, who prefers a work holiday in a complete different, a traditional arab culture.
In summer temperature rise until above 40 degrees, discipline to work and wake up early is therefor a must. Ofcourse we do have siesta's in the afternoon until 4pm.

We have room in a very modest rental house for volunteers who like to come during summer months every year from June to the end of September. We can offer you a private bedroom, a shared livingroom with tv with english film channels and internet, shared bath room with toilet, shower and warm water. At night you can choose to sleep outside. You will eat with us traditional meals.

You can find the most convient flights to Tunis, take the taxi to the bus or louage station and find public transport (less then 30TDinar about 15 euro) directly to Douz, where we will pick you up.
