Hello, I'm Mustapha

I’m Mustapha and I run Foum Zguid desert tour. I grew up in a nomadic bedouin camp in the area of Lake Iriki in the Vast Sahara with my family. When I was 12, I left the desert for the first time to move to Foum Zguid and study, so I could go to university. Whilst adjusting to life outside of the city was difficult, I was inspired by the world of opportunity it brings. After graduating from Agadir university with a degree in English, I decided to set up Foum Zguid Desert tour as a way to bring financial sustainability to the desert and share the way of life that I cherish with the rest of the world.
