ABOUT YAYA DESERT TRAVEL
Yaya Desert Travel
“What attracts us to the desert is the search for something intimate and distant.”
A Unique Savoir-Faire, an Authentic Passion
With more than 17 years of experience in the field — and 5 stars on TripAdvisor, Airbnb, Booking.com and Google — I have acquired solid expertise to offer you the perfect trip that meets your constraints of time and budget, and your desires.
Here, we like to be called by our first name. My name is Yahya Jaddou, but you can call me Yaya. I live in the desert region of southeastern Morocco, called “M’hamid Elghizlane”.
I spent my childhood between traditional and modern life, with our sheep and our herd of camels, moving from place to place. As a young man, I missed the nomadic life very much — and I have chosen to share this peaceful and silent life with travelers who wish to follow my path.
