Description
My name is Hassan I born in Mhamid Sahara desert, in a large family line of Sahara nomad that have spent the most of their lives moving from one place to another. I spent my early childhood living with my family as nomad in the desert until we moved to M’hamid, the last town before the Sahara desert, to start school. It was a difficult transition for me as I was used to living in a peaceful and often silent environment in the desert.
This is one of the most known bivouacs in Mhamid El Ghizlane, Morocco. It’s your dream place to enjoy an atmosphere of relaxation, freedom and lots of entertainments. You can also experience the uniqueness of the local culture, the nomadic life style and the true spirit of desert. It is a very calm, simple and very quite place.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
i m always looking for the most authentic experiences to offer to my guests. Experiences that are true to the spirit of the nomads and the desert!
we have many places of visiting in the area like palm and Kasbah regions. Mahamid is distinguished by the beauty of its desert and its various activities such as camel caravans, tents and desert tourism on which the city is based.
Help
There are Always some tourist as well as people with their camping car. Most of the time it is just a few people, since i dont like it too busy and the people in the camping cars arent so close to the house. You will mainly help with the daily buisness in the bivouce and be a part of our lives. Preparing tea for you, me and sometimes my brother. Helping with geting water from the well for the bathroom and kitchen. I started planning some trees so i need help.watering them. Sometimes food shopping together. Making a bonfire in the evening. Help with cleaning dishes. I will also teach you how to make a nice tagine and other moroccan dishes for us for lunch and dinner. You are not expected to be working with the guests of the bivouac, however you are welcome to get in touch with them and exhange travel experiences :)
All few days i also need help with cleaning thé house a bit from Sand and dust, so the bivouce looks nice. Maybe sometimes i need help with building or constructing something small things in thé bivouac. Its only a few hours per day and thé hours can be flexible (sometimes maybe just 1-2 hours). Most tasks well be doing together, it is very helpfull for me to have another hand around the house and i really enjoy getting to know different people form other cultures :)

I speak french and english a little, but i cant write it. So i am happy to get help and learn more. Of course i am happy to teach you speak sone darija.
Accommodation
For the our accommodation, it is free. So I have all covers and mattresses . that's good for sleeping.
For the meals, or the food to prepare them, is sharing i want the option to ask for just 15 hours help a week (3 hours, 5 days). Sometimes we will go food shopping together, so maybe sometimes you pay some vegetables or the things you would like to have for yourself (of course, only for you/us and not the guests)
What else ...
Living amongst civilization was challenging for me. So I left school at the age of 15 and moved back to the desert with my cousins. I have lived here for 4 years and once again feel at peace and in harmony with my surroundings. Living in the Sahara is where I truly belong. Returning to the silent and quiet surroundings in the desert made me feel free again. There I found myself, my mind opened once more and I felt I could think clearly. I understood that my heart and my soul belong to the sand dunes and that I didn’t want to live far from this magical land again. my camp was born from my love and knowledge of the desert. I want to share with you more than just a beautiful landscape. Contained within these dunes lies an ancient style of life and gives you the chance to discover the inner peace that lies within you, as you let go of the modern pressure and pace of life and succumb to the silent and peaceful surroundings.
We live 2km outside of M'hamid, but me and m'y brother Can take you to thé town by motorbike when you need something :) or you Can walk if you liké.
