Mohamed

– Authentic nomad
– Pure desert
Born in the nomad tent of his parents near Lac Iriki, he has known for the first 30 years of his life only the authentic nomadic way of living as guardian of herds of camels and goats in the desert. Zagora, Chegaga, Foum Zguid and even further, he has been everywhere on foot. He knows the desert through and through. Every path, every slope, every plant, every grain of sand, every water well. 15 years ago, he left the hard nomads exist in the desert behind him. Since then he has been camel driver of desert trips. He guides all excursions across the desert that are organised by us. Mohamed is pure, he is pure desert.
