 BLUE
MEN OF MOROCCO CO. is a American company acting as
an international tour operator made up of Elena
Hall and Hmad Ourdaras with the help of his
brothers. Elena, an American, has spent 8 years off
and on in the village of Merzouga in the Sahara
Desert of Morocco where she and Hmad, a local
Berber from Merzouga, set up a restaurant/camping
/bivouac haven amidst the sand dunes and palm
trees. People spend a few days or longer and take
camel excursions from 2 hours to 6 day
Now, Elena
and Hmad work out of Malaga, Spain and his brothers
manage the business in the desert while other
brothers tour around the country with new land
rovers. They have expanded the tours to include the
IMPERIAL CITIES OF FEZ, MARRAKECH, RABAT,MEKNES and
CASABLANCA and other fortified towns along the
coast besides the desert treks, mountain / small
village tours, and the KASHAH route.
She has been
accepted by all the local people who were nomads
but have settled down in small villages. Other
nomads live in the desert with their camels or
goats and are seen on Camel excursions. Hmad is a
Berber who speaks several languages-like most
people who have contact with tourists. Berbers are
not Arabic although they are Muslim. The Berber
women are not involved with the tourists. But
Hmad´s family and friends invite you into
their homes. Guests are welcome at special feasts
and weddings and participate in the rituals, and
meals like part of the family.
Elena has a
great respect for these desert people- poor as they
are. She and Hmad try to help them out by bringing
tourists to the area. And also to acquaint guests
with these special Berber people, their humble
food, and generosity. This is a unique bonus in
addition to the spacious desert.
The
combination of skills and education and background
of Elena and Hmad provides a reliable, professional
tour with no surprises. The close contact with
local Berbers and their way of life is a special
extra in addition to the rest of the tours where it
is always so important to make friends with the
guests and provide an unforgettable experience
which entices one to return.
