It is a great privilege to bring guests for natural health treatments here in my home and garden farm - hidden away amongst the vast palm forest of the oasis.
My retreat guests stay in their own private part of my garden - in ‘Tamazeugh Castle'‘ - an earth and salt eco-house I designed and built especially to give them the most comfortable, inspiring and rejuvenating experience.
My Farm
We keep goats, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits which are all pasture fed and organic, and spend their days foraging outside in the sunshine. This gives us all the milk, eggs and meat we need.
We grow herbs including aloes, moringa, basil, eucalyptus, rosemary and thyme to name just a few. I’ve planted fruit trees that thrive in the oasis - such as guava, mulberry, pomegranate, lemon, grape and fig. Most of our produce income comes from our olives and dates.
Our garden farm is watered by an ancient Pharaonic spring where we bathe and wash during the summer months.
Made from the Earth, Inspired by Nature
The buildings in our garden farm (including our home) were hand made from local earth, salt and wood.
We have large open wood fire places which heat the houses during the cold desert winters.
The structured and energised water we use inside our kitchen and bathrooms comes directly from a natural spring at the top of the land, and the grey water we create is distributed to planter beds where we grow papyrus and sweet smelling herbs like basil and mint.
Our home is a vibrant and happy environment and our lives are deeply embedded in this unique environment and the incredible Amazigh people who have become perfectly adapted to all the oasis provides them.
