I stayed for 3 weeks and had a lovely experience . It's an oasis of peace and natural farming methods. I done some gardening and helping prepare the beds for vegetables . If you are looking for a really quiet organic project,this is for you!

I stayed at Sanctuary for about 5 weeks. Aziz has been cultivating and tending this property for over 20 years, where there was previously only a few trees. Now, it's abundant with dozens of species of trees, shrubs, plants and animals—a real sanctuary for life in contrast to the surrounding semi-desert area.

I am really happy that I could spend more than 3 weeks at the place of Aziz & Sarah and little Alma. When you enter the Sanctuary you feel a direct calmness. The place is a true paradise with so much eye for detail.

Foti is very attentive and works hard. He does not need to be micro managed and makes things smooth and easy.
He spent time on various tasks such as pruning, planting, making compost, weeding, creating raised beds...
An avid learner, he is proactive, curious and does not like to leave a job unfinished.
It was a real pleasure to have him around.

This was our first workaway experience and it exceeded our expectations. This is a special place with a strong vision for replication in all parts of the world.

This was truly a great experience. Aziz and Sarah have built something special here--a haven for animals, people and art.

This sanctuary is a paradise. Aziz has created the most beautiful, sustainable, interesting and wonderous oasis just outside of the vibrant and noisy hustle and bustle of Marrakech. I cannot even begin to describe the experience we had here, but I will try.
