Tizi Nomads

About us

A collective,
not a company

Tizi Nomads began in a guesthouse near Aït Bouguemez, where a pot of tea turned into a nine-year project of documenting Amazigh Morocco properly.

How we work

Four rules we don't bend

Hosts first

Every route is checked with the families who live it. They set the pace, the price and the limits.

Leave the trail clean

Water carried in, waste carried out, and no camps in the dunes between May and September.

Two languages, always

Tamazight words appear next to the English ones so the name of a place stays with the place.

Credit the teller

Stories are shared with permission and credited to the person who told them, not to us.
