The Experience

I live with my friend Mohamed, who is like a brother to me, in a village near the Sahara Desert. We rent a house and a small farm that also serves as a guesthouse. We love living a simple life, taking care of some animals, and practicing farming

I had a really nice experience volunteering with Hamza and Youssef the hostel.
I loved spending time there, enjoying the peaceful Moroccan the hostel, slowing down and really immersing myself in the local culture.
They even took me to the desert, which was an amazing experience.
The work was very manageable and we also had the chance to create some really nice videos together.
Hamza, Youssef and everyone around them were incredibly kind, welcoming and ready to help whenever I needed anything.
I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone looking for something authentic, peaceful & local !

I was welcomed by Mobarek and Mohammed so warmly upon my arrival. I was given a room that I had privately my entire stay. The tasks were VERY easy and I honestly wish i could have done more work. There was plentiful downtime. The perfect place to wind down. I stayed 11 full days. I would recommend doing about a week if you don't have a friend or partner with you, like I did not. While I didn't get a chance to meet Hamza, I met so many other friends and family members. All amazing. I had the privilege of participating in Eid al-Adha with Mobarek and his family during my stay. Thank you so much

We stayed 11 days and loved getting off the tourist trail, and slowing down to experience life in the desert, this exceeded our expectations! Hamza was a fantastic host, kind, welcoming and great to chat with, and both he and Mehdi spoke solid English and helped us learn some Arabic. The beds were comfortable, food was plentiful, and sharing Iftar together during Ramadan was special. Work was light, and included making mud bricks, helping in the veggie garden and kitchen. Evenings were spent playing cards together and sharing music. Thank you Hamza, Mobarak and Mehdi for an awesome stay.

This was my first Worldpackers experience and I loved it so much! I had the best week making new friends, learning about the hostel and its culture, trying new food, learning languages. The work was fun and I spent the rest of the days hanging out with the animals, talking, playing cards, or going on walks. Everyone I met was kind and welcoming. I can't recommend Dar Nomad enough and I can't wait to go back!!

I can't really say anything about my stay at Hamza's place- when I arrived he was away so I ended up staying in another place wih his cousin, which was okay, the work was physical (mostly moving dirt around or cleaning animal excrements) but never longer than 3 or 4 hours. I felt welcomed, but sometimes a bit lost, mainly bc of the language differences I think. Anyways thank you!
