Nomads Festival

The festival of the Nomads, held in each March in M'Hamid (in the dunes, 90km south of Zagora), celebrates the life and traditions of the wandering tribes.

The festival includes music & dance, 'night of story telling', camel races, craft workers & stalls, cooking courses, jewellery stalls and more. All are focused on showing the history of the nomads that live on in the Sahara, and to allow you to meet the variety of ancient cultures. It is still time to learn from the Moors, the Tuaregs or the Bedouins how to cross a desert by camel. The Berber ones of the High Atlas or the nomads of the Sahara show how to live their culture with a disconcerting naturalness.

There is still time to discover these cultures but one should not delay too long!

Attending the festival

The 2010 festival will be held during 12 - 15 March.

We can arrange entry to the festival, and you may also like to combine it with night on the dunes. A four day holiday would include 2 nights accommodation at La Fibule Du Draa and two nights on the dunes, meals with wine, and a 4x4 while in the dunes. Please give our trip advisors a call on 08450 264 585 to discuss attending the Nomades festival as part of a Moroccan holiday.
