About this experience
Every spring the village of M'Hamid welcomes nomad families from the deep desert for a festival that is equal parts celebration and reunion. There are camel races across the gravel flat, Amazigh music late into the night, poetry and storytelling, and markets where nomads trade dates, wool and silver. Our package places you in the middle of it with a camp, meals, and a guide who knows the families taking part.
