The Aït Khebbach are a nomadic Berber tribe living in the arid regions of the eastern Sahara, near the oases of Tafilalet and Djebel Bani. Their way of life is closely linked to the desert, where they move with the seasons in search of pasture for their herds.
Their nomadic culture is based on self-sufficiency and adaptation to a harsh environment. Traditional goat-hair tents are their mobile habitat, while their clothing is adapted to the extreme conditions of the desert. The Aït Khebbach are also specialists in desert navigation, mastering routes through dunes and mountains.
Music and poetry are at the heart of their traditions. Izlan songs and Tifinagh poems (written in the Berber alphabet) tell stories of bravery, love and life in the desert. Their festivals are marked by camel races and dancing around the fire, creating a unique atmosphere under the Sahara stars.
The Aït Khebbach are guardians of the nomadic traditions of the Sahara, living in harmony with their environment and preserving an ancestral way of life.
