Held in the small desert town of Tan Tan, south Morocco, Tan Tan Moussem sees thousands of tribal
members (Blue Men) come together to celebrate their traditional culture. It is the largest gathering of nomadic tribes in northern Africa.
Tan Tan Moussem started as a festival of religious worship and a chance for the tribes to socialise, sing, tell stories and do some camel trading on the side. By the mid 1970s, turmoil in the area forced the local authorities to interrupt the Moussem and it was only restarted in 2004 thanks to a joint effort between the Moroccan Ministry of Tourism and UNESCO.
