A great experience in the desert of Morroco. Wonderful food, an incredibly gracious and kind host. Zakaria is a very willing student and works very hard to improve his English.

I had a wonderful stay in Tagounite. Zakaria is a lovely host and his family is very welcoming. There wasn't much work for volunteers due to the summer heat but we enjoyed learning how to help care for all the animals on the farm. The food was absolutely delicious, the night sky stunning and the hospitality couldn't have been better. My favourite memories include sleeping under the stars, going to a traditional wedding celebration and drinking mint tea on the dunes at sunset.

I was welcome and my host made me feel at home from before my arrival. He gets out of his way to make sure you feel comfortable.
I have stayed 4 days in the farmhouse with him and his family. My days passed easily and peacefully. The work for volunteers is not demanding at all, and it was enjoyable.
The nights were dreamlike in these summer nights, sleeping on the terrace watching the stars.
The desert landscape is just beautiful.
Shukran!

Couldnt have wished for a better host, someone that I now can call a friend. During the time I spent at the farm I have learned a lot about the local customs, the language, the lifestyle, the tasks related to having a farm and much more! I have had so much fun with Zakaria and the other volunteers and its been a great mix of work, chill and exploring. Zakaria is very chill, kind and funny, he is super caring and responsible and his heart is in the right place! He truly makes sure everyone feels good and right at home, which I did. The family took great care of us & delicious food! shukran <3

Zakaria was a wonderful host; he and his family took great care of us. They gave us a very warm welcome—we felt right at home. Every day, we had very good and generous meals. He showed us life on the farm as well as the local customs. We felt very comfortable with them, and he looked after us throughout our stay. I highly recommend this host. Thank you again, Zakaria, to you and your family.
