Our experience in the Tourism industry spans over 15 years.
The story of the team at Riad Ouzina TGM is deeply rooted in the desert itself. It begins in 1996 with Moh Taouchikht, a nomad whose life was shaped by the vast landscapes of the Sahara. With patience and vision, he transformed a simple piece of land into a living oasis, starting with a well and a traditional tent. What began as a personal project slowly grew into a place of welcome for travelers seeking authenticity.
As the Riad evolved, a new chapter began with the arrival of the next generation. Moh’s son, Ali Taouchikht, brought with him years of experience as a desert guide, opening the doors of Ouzina to visitors from around the world. His knowledge of the region and its culture allowed the Riad to become not just a place to stay, but a gateway to meaningful desert experiences.
The story continued to expand with the collaboration of Emilio Gimeno, founder of Viajes TGM. Bringing an international perspective and professional travel expertise, he helped shape the Riad into a refined destination while preserving its authentic soul.
Today, the team of Riad Ouzina TGM reflects this journey — a union of nomadic heritage, local knowledge, and global standards. Together, they carry forward a shared vision: to offer guests a true connection to the desert, guided by tradition, passion, and experience.
A true son of the Sahara, Moh Taouchikht is the soul behind Riad Ouzina TGM. Born into a nomadic life, his deep connection to the desert is reflected in every corner of the Riad. From digging the first well to planting the palms that now offer shade and life, Moh transformed a vision into a living oasis. Today, he remains a quiet guardian of the land, embodying the timeless wisdom of the desert and its rhythms.

The hostel is located far from the busy tourist areas, offering a peaceful and authentic desert atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, we received a very warm welcome that made us feel immediately at home. The rooms are traditionally decorated with beautiful details that reflect the charm of the region. We originally planned to stay only one night, but the calm surroundings and hospitality convinced us to extend our stay to two nights. It was a wonderful experience that we will remember with great pleasure.
We spent some of our most wonderful days in Morocco here. The hospitality was truly exceptional and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. What touched us most was Sayya’s kindness and empathetic approach, which made our stay even more special. The journey to the riad was also easier than we expected. We arrived with our 7.5-meter motorhome without four-wheel drive, and even the last few kilometers of unpaved road were straightforward and easy to drive. It was a memorable experience.
