All your money goes straight to the family generating income directly for the local community. You pay them directly at the beginning of your visit. There are no hotel managers or pushy guides to pay. This holiday is fairly priced, permitting the family to improve their standard of living and quality of life, while providing you with a very reasonably priced holiday. We ask guests not to haggle with the family; it seems only fair that all prices are fixed and agreed at the time of booking.
If additional camels are needed to accommodate your group they are rented locally, providing extra income for other local families. On longer camel treks you may stay overnight with nomadic Berber families who are again paid fairly for their hospitality.
We also ask that you respect the family’s culture and home by dressing modestly and by smoking only in your room or away from the home and family. If you bring alcohol please do not drink excessively and not in front of the family. We thank you for your kind consideration with regards to this and hope that it will allow you a closer insight into the Morroccan nomadic lifestyle.
We strongly encourage the drinking of boiled well water (provided free of charge). The purchase of bottled water is possible in the local village shop; however the disposal of plastic bottles is problematic. We ask guests to bring a refillable water bottle so that you can carry a small supply of personal drinking water at all times.
Food scraps and vegetable peelings are fed to the family's animals, nothing is wasted. Cooking is powered by bottled gas to reduce the amount of vegetation removed from the local arid landscape. Electric lights in the family home are powered by a solar panel attached to the roof.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
