My story

My name is Elhoussin Al-Ziyoudi, and I come from M'Hamid El Ghizlane, on the edge of the Sahara Desert, in the far southeast of Morocco. Born and raised in a Sahrawi family, I grew up in an environment where nomadic traditions, hospitality, and a love of the desert are part of everyday life.

My passion for tourism began at a very young age. My brother, an experienced guide, organized desert excursions for several travel agencies. From my teenage years, I had the opportunity to accompany him on numerous camel treks, alongside travelers from all over the world. These experiences, sometimes lasting several days, allowed me to discover the unique landscapes of the Sahara and learn the traditional skills associated with desert life.

Over the years, I learned to guide camels, prepare supplies for expeditions, cook in the desert, and share evenings enjoying traditional Sahrawi music. I also developed a genuine pleasure in interacting with travelers from different cultures, an experience that greatly enriched me on a personal level.

After several years of on-the-job training, I worked as a cook on expeditions, then as a guide in the desert. Thanks to my experience and my perfect knowledge of the region, I help my travelers discover the most beautiful landscapes, hidden oases, majestic dunes, and authentic places in the Moroccan Sahara.

Today, I dedicate all my passion and experience to my visitors, aiming to create unforgettable adventures for them. More than just an excursion, I want to introduce them to Sahrawi culture, the nomadic way of life, and the exceptional beauty of the Moroccan desert.

Welcome to M'Hamid El Ghizlane, where the Sahara begins. We look forward to sharing this adventure with you!
