The Berber tent, known as the khaïma, is the traditional habitat of the nomadic Berber and Tuareg populations in Morocco. This iconic shelter represents not only a form of housing but also a symbol of hospitality and cultural heritage.
Nomadic Lifestyle
Designed for a nomadic lifestyle, the khaïma is portable, lightweight, and easy to set up, allowing nomads to move easily across the desert.
Natural Materials
Made from natural materials like goat hair and wool, this tent provides excellent insulation against the extreme temperatures of the Sahara Desert.
Simple and Practical Structure
With its rectangular or square shape, the tent is supported by a wooden frame, ensuring its sturdiness while maintaining lightness.
Current Use of Berber Tents
Although many nomads have settled, the khaïma is still used, especially during unique travel experiences in Morocco. Modern versions, such as caïdal tents, are popular for family adventures in the Moroccan desert.
During your trip, choose to stay in a traditional Berber tent. It’s an opportunity to experience nights in the desert, offering a warm and authentic refuge, perfect for recharging away from the daily hustle.
