Skoura Morocco, Saharan Morocco
Spend a day or two admiring the charm of Skoura
An important stop along the Caravan trading route between the Sahara Desert and Fez, Skoura is a bountiful oasis that once was a beacon of hope and rejuvenation for weary traders. Today, this small destination in the Ouarzazate Province in Morocco houses both a modern town and a historic earthen-built town structure, both of which, are gems to explore. Although the town itself is small it is an exceptionally lovely one with Earthen Architecture and groves of palms that add life to the arid desert landscape.
