Some things cannot be transmitted in words alone.

Rihla is a 5-day residential cultural discovery camp in Nabeul for Tunisian children aged 10 to 14 growing up in Europe. Through craft, food, language, history, spirituality, and everyday life, children experience Tunisia from within.

Positioning

What Rihla is, and what it is not.

Rihla is not a classic holiday camp, a tourist programme, or a summer school.

It is an immersion built with artisans and local knowledge holders so children can inhabit Tunisia for five days through rooted practices and shared rhythm.

The programme

What your child experiences.

Five days, five rooted practices. Each day is shaped with artisans, elders, and educators from the region.

Day 1

History and identity

Neapolis and the layered history of Nabeul.

Day 2

Craft and sensory knowledge

Pottery, Sammar weaving, and orange blossom distillation.

Day 3

Seeds, soil, and food

Farm immersion, indigenous seeds, couscous, and harissa.

Day 4

Beauty and spirituality

Mosque visit, Sufi heritage, Friday traditions, and embroidery.

Day 5

Sea, closure, and family

Dawn at the port, final reflections, and the family reception.

What they bring home

A personal carnet de savoirs, handmade objects, new words, and a deeper sense of belonging.
