Gnaoua Khamlia - Merzouga Sahara desert

Gnaoua music in Khamlia village

Gnaoua Khamlia - Merzouga Sahara desert

Khamlia is a village in the southeastern part of Morocco, 7km south of the famous village called Merzouga in the province of Errachidia. It has a population of about 405 from Gnaoua and Berber (Amazigh) ethnic origin. Khamlia is located exactly at the foot of Erg Chebbi dunes, doors to the great Sahara desert.

Watch this youtube video below to get an idea about how Gnawa music sounds

Khamlia's people also named "gnaouas" originated in black Africa, they have a close and long standing relationship with the desert, their ancestors were brought from central and west Africa, through the Sahara desert in caravans that arrived to the southeastern part of Morocco.

After their emancipation, they survived as nomads moving regularly in search of favorable land for their herds. Around the 50s and 60s they started to settle down with the Berber nomads in towns or in the growing urban areas. That is the way Khamlia was founded. Since then the main sources of income are agriculture, livestock farming and lately also tourism.

The village annual music festival is called "Sadaka" (religious charity), and it occurs during three days every July or August. In the weeks preceding the festival, the Gnaouas ask their neighbors, the Berbers and other nearby villages for donations (in the form of sugar, tea, food, or money).
The first day a lamb is sacrificed and the collected donations are used to prepare a huge couscous for all the attendees.
Music s played non-stop night and day for three days. people in Khamlia believe that the sadaka is meant to cure the sick people and to gain 'Baraka' (god's blessings) through music and dance.
Some people can enter a state of transitory trance, thanks to the incessant rhythm of the drums and the chants.. It is a spiritual experience that is also practiced in other parts of Africa, Brazil, and the Caribbean.

Khamlia's music, in the hands on the gnaoua tribe, is the essence of the place. The music is legendary from their ancestors, preserved from their original homeland and still played in a traditional manner, no new electrical equipment or anything, just the raw instruments.

Until the 90s, the gnawa music was only played during the "Sadaka' or in specific family event such as weddings or baptisms, at that time the music patrimony was in decline and only the men of the family played it. So there was a huge risk that such a great cultural heritage will fade and vanish with time. That is the reason why some local musicians decided to teach the gnawa music to kids and youth of Khamlia village.

Nowadays there are few ganoua music groups in Khamlia that play songs throughout the years to both Moroccan and International tourists, which has brought good vibe to the village and helped a little bit its economy.
We encourage you to visit Khamlia and to have this great spiritual musical experience not to be found anywhere else. And better if you could attend the annual festival. The village and also people are very nice so you will not regret your visit.

Merzouga

Merzouga Morocco

Merzouga (Aamazigh: ⵎⴰⵔⵣⵓⴳⴰ, in arabic مرزوڭة) is a small village in southeastern Morocco, about 35 kilometres southeast of Rissani, about 55 kilometers from Erfoud.

The village is known for its proximity to Erg Chebbi, a Saharan erg, and it is for this reason a part of the itineraries of many tourists visiting Morocco. Merzouga has the largest natural underground body of water in Morocco.

watch this youtube video about the amazing sand dunes of Merzouga:

Erg Chebbi is one of Morocco's two Saharan ergs – large seas of dunes formed by wind-blown sand. The other is Erg Chigaga near M'hamid. The dunes of Erg Chebbi reach a height of up to 150 meters in places and altogether spans an area of 50 kilometers from north to south and up to 5–10 kilometers from east to west. The nearest sizable town is Erfoud, about 60 kilometers further north. One other city is Rissani, around 40 kilometers from Merzouga, and from the 8th to the 14th century there was a separate kingdom, known as Sijilmassa, which was prosperous owing to former caravan routes.

Tourism:

Merzouga, the local tourist center, is located near the edge of the dunes. A number of companies offer camel trips from Merzouga and into the desert, taking tourists on overnight trips several kilometres into the erg, which is enough to bring the village out of sight.

During the warmest part of the year, Moroccans come to Erg Chebbi to be buried neck-deep in the hot sand for a few minutes at a time. This is considered to be a treatment for rheumatism.


If you are interested in booking a tour to the desert of Merzouga or in Camel trekking, contact us through our contact page, we will be glad to organize a tour with you.
Thank you

Morocco: Weather

Morocco: Weather

 One of the things that any visitor or tourist ask about before booking a tour or an excursion in Morocco is the weather. especially if they want to book a tour to the desert of Merzouga and do camel trekking, because it can be very hot there at times, especially in July and August. On the other hand tourists that are interested in visiting the beaches like Agadir are more into sun, while the ones interested in surf for example are looking for the wind that they usually find in Essauira. Lucky for all those visitors, Morocco has everything they want.


Weather in morocco is so mosaic too as morocco is, in one single day you can feel how cold is the atlas mountains then you can drive some hours to feel yourself too hot at the sahara dunes and oasis.

at the coasts reign the oceanic moderated climat, at the northen band the mediterranean cool climat sometimes cold.

weather at the atlas mountains (inland) is cold and very influenced by height with his snowfall winter, in the south reign the saharian hot climat.

sunshine levels are more than 10 in marrakech , fez , agadir and ouarzazate.

Depending on the places you want to visit in Morocco, make sure you pick the best time of year before booking your tour.

Basic informations about Morocco

 Basic informations about Morocco

Morocco is not only a holiday destination for tours and excursions, apart from being a touristical attraction for its famous sand dunes desert, imperial cities, moutains and beaches, Morocco is also an old country that is very rich and diverse culturally.
So if you have a chance to visit Morocco make sure to have a taste of the real thing. 
Here is a short description so you can have an idea:

Morocco (Arabic: المغرب‎ al-Maghrib ; Amazigh: ⴰⵎⵕⵕⵓⴽ or ⵍⵎⴰⵖⵔⵉⴱ "Ameṛṛuk" or "Lmaɣrib"), officially the Kingdom of Morocco, is a country located in North Africa. It has a population of over 32 million and an area of 710,850 km² . Despite being situated in Africa, Morocco remains the only African state not to be a member of the African Union due to its unilateral withdrawal on November 12, 1984 over the admission of the so called (Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic) in 1982 by the African Union as a full member without the organization of a referendum of self determination in the disputed territory of  Sahara.

Morocco is a constitutional monarchy with an elected parliament. The King of Morocco holds vast executive and legislative powers, including the power to dissolve the parliament. Executive power is exercised by the government but the king's decisions usually overwrite those of the government if there is a contradiction. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the two chambers of parliament, the Assembly of Representatives and the Assembly of Councillors. The king can also issue decrees called "dahirs" which have the force of law. The latest Parliamentary elections were held on November 25, 2011, and were considered by some neutral observers to be mostly free and fair. Voter turnout in these elections was estimated to be 43% of registered voters, but only about 25% of Moroccan adult citizens actually voted. The rest either chose not to vote or they were not registered as voters, thus not allowed to vote. The political capital of Morocco is Rabat, although the largest city is Casablanca; other major cities include Marrakesh, Tetouan, Tangier, Salé, Fes, Agadir, Meknes, Oujda, Kenitra, and Nador.

Almost all Moroccans speak either Amazigh or Moroccan Arabic as mother tongues. Hassaniya Arabic, sometimes considered as a variety of Moroccan Arabic, is spoken in the southern provinces  in the country by a small population.
