In this henna workshop, you'll discover the fascinating world of this ancient Moroccan art and draw your own tattoos following the guidance of Berber women.
Workshop Details
At the designated time, we'll meet at the Hotel Kanz Erremal to start this henna workshop. Are you ready to learn the secrets of this art in the heart of the desert of Merzouga? Let's go!
Once we're ready, we'll begin discovering the cultural significance of henna in Morocco. For centuries, this body art was used to adorn hands and feet at weddings, religious celebrations, and other special events. Did you know the most common symbols are used to protect us from the evil eye or to invoke fertility?
Next, we'll show you the preparation process of henna paste, as well as the traditional technique to apply the drawings. You'll be guided by Berber women who are experts in this art and who will show you how to draw the most popular symbols and their meanings. For example, you can draw flowers that represent joy and fertility. Let's get to work!
After a brief explanation, you'll have the opportunity to create your own henna design on your hand or foot. It'll be a beautiful souvenir of your trip! Plus, we'll give you some tips on how to maintain the tattoo on your skin for longer.
After this 1-hour activity, and with your body decorated with henna, we'll say goodbye at the entrance of your hotel.
