WHO ARE WE ?
Abdoul
Tourist guide
I am a child of the desert, I know all its secrets and every corner of it. I grew up in Ouled Miyah, one of the kasbahs of the palm grove, until I was six years old, and then my family and I moved to the village of M'hamid el Ghizlane. There, I was able to continue my education until high school. But I preferred to spend my time in the desert. Every weekend, when I was a teenager, I would venture away from the village with my friends, and we would camp at the foot of the dunes. After obtaining my literary baccalaureate, I spent three years in Agadir studying Arabic literature at university. But I missed the desert, so I returned to my village and became a tourist guide. I am also a driver and an excellent cook. Every year, I introduce travelers from around the world to the desert. I speak French, Arabic, English, and Spanish. I will also show you the multiple facets of the desert that I love.
