Dades Gorges

Sunset & Overnight with Nomads As the sun sets, settle in to watch a stunning sunset alongside a nomadic family who call this rugged land home. Living in natural caves with their animals, these nomads offer a rare window into Morocco’s ancient traditions. Our team arrives with sleeping bags, food, and donkeys to carry supplies—no pre-booked stays here, just a spontaneous and authentic connection. The nomads warmly welcome you into their caves, sharing their hospitality, stories, and way of life. Enjoy a simple, heartfelt dinner prepared by your hosts, then choose to sleep in a tent under the stars or inside a cave for a peaceful night beneath a dazzling starry sky. Morning with the Nomads Awake to the scent of fresh nomadic bread baked over an open fire, paired with a traditional breakfast. Watch the nomads start their day—grazing animals, fetching water, and gathering wood—offering an intimate look at their timeless routines.
