Homestays Morocco provides the perfect vacation for independent travellers and small groups who want a true cultural experience of Morocco at a reasonable price.
Stay with Berber families in the beautiful Tighza Valley, high in the Atlas Mountains, where you can enjoy the culture and lifestyle.
Riad Kasbah Oliver offers additional comfort whilst upholding the philosophy of Homestays.
Riad Kasbah Oliver is run by Mohamed and his brother Ahmed who were both born in Tighza. It was designed, by Mohamed's British wife, as both a home and a family run guesthouse.
Riad Kasbah Oliver and Homestays are sustainable tourism projects which directly benefit the host families and local communities.
We encourage guests to get involved with project work and the village to help improve the lives and environment of the people.
EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE in TIGHZA :- KASBAH AND HOMESTAYS CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
At 11:11pm on 8 September 2023 a 6.9 magnitude earthquake hit Morocco. The epicentre was in the High Atlas Mountains in an area not known for earthquakes.
Rural communities were badly hit and now villagers are living in damaged houses, unfinished houses that survived the quake or in or have moved to temporarily live with family in towns and cities.
Until seismic codes are changed and decisions are made on how the program of rebuilding is to work and who will be doing the work rebuilding remains on hold. We will update the website as soon as we have further news.
TO DONATE please contact us by email homestaysmorocco@googelmail.com and we will send you Baraka Community Partnerships who are dealing with the donations. Rebuilding cannot start until the Spring. Some families remain without the financial help offered by the Government and have no income to repair and earthquake proof or in many cases have to build a new home from scratch., rebuilding homes for large families will cost far more than rebuilding for smaller families and people who live alone.
