Nomads of Morocco…
Most part of the Kingdom is desert.
Nomads can be found in most deserts of the world.
Nomad Encounters – Moroccan Sahara Desert
In the Moroccan Sahara Desert and in the Atlas Mountains, many people still maintain their peculiar nomadic tribe way of life.
• the nomad
a. A member of a people or tribe who move from place to place to find pasture and food;
b. A person who continually moves from place to place; wanderer.
This impressive yet harsh lifestyle represents one of the most interesting and extraordinary aspects of Morocco.
In the desert tracks from Tafraoute Ait-Atta to Taouz, along the Algerian border, hundreds of families live in migrant pace, following their animals in search for food and water.

Being a nomad means that you will lead a non-sedentary way of life. You will have animals and you will follow them in order to get food and fresh water.
On the picture above you can notice dozens of black goats, the desert rocky mountains and the nomad camp.
Wherever there is food for their goats, sheep or dromedaries, they will set up their tents and stay for a while.
