    Description

    Our family home is in the tiny Gnaoua Village of Khamlia on the edge of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. As tourism is one of the major sources of income in the Desert, we run our home as a B&B. We would love help with plumbing and electrics, painting, tiling and a dream would be someone who could help us set up a tiny garden to grown some vegetables and tomatoes. If you have some special hobbie or skill that you would like to share with us either, we would be delighted to hear how we could benefit each other.

    Currently we are looking for someone to update and advise us on our website as well as all our social media platforms.

    Please get in touch if you would like to visit us and can help us with this.

    Many thanks, Suzanne and Abdoul.

    We live in one of the most beautiful parts of the world, The Sahara Desert. You can wake to amazing run rises and the sound of the village cocks crowing. We are part of a traditional Gnaoua Berber Moroccan family and you will be surrounded by beautiful food, music, family, culture, local traditions and hospitality.

    Help

    We would like people who can post instragram/facebook/twitter/tictok etc posts daily and schedule more for our bnb.

    We would like additions to our website.

    We would love practical help with our house. We have been building a traditional house in the Desert over the past 10 years. As we are very very rural in the Desert in Morocco, building experience and excellent building standards are not easily come by.

    We are trying to mix traditional ways and high standards and perfections.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Visiting and experiencing the Desert is a 'Bucket List' experience. Climbing Erg Chebbi and watching the sun set over the Sahara, watching the full moon rise up from behind the sand hills on a cloudless evening is the most amazing site I ever see. Riding a camel in the Dunes or sleeping overnight under the stars is a memory not to be forgotten. Take a trip to Rissani on 'souk' day and enjoy the hustle and bustle of life. Buy fresh vegetables, amazing moroccan spices or enjoy the exhilarating experience of a busy working Hammam.
