The Tan-Tan Moussem festival is very important because it has been recognized by UNESCO. It was added to the list of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2008. The festival celebrates the nomadic way of life, which is all about moving and being close to nature. The event also helps people from different cultures share their traditions and learn from each other.
