I had a great experience in this Workaway. Redouane taught me how to make tajine, taught me some Arabic, and more about Morocco’s interesting culture. We also had some amazing hikes. One time a huge horde of sheep and camels came walking with us. It was like a scene in the Lion King! Lol And the work is not very difficult.

I learned a lot about the local culture and landscape, as well as some traditional cooking. Reduane is a great language tutor, and the residents of the village were eager to meet me. Sand dunes are only a 5 minute walk away, and there are mountains in every direction. A good time if you enjoy some peace and quiet.
