Skoura
A cultivated palm grove and oasis community east of Ouarzazate, known for kasbahs, gardens and rural paths. Pair a guided palm walk with Amridil.
The place & its story
Skoura offers a regional day shaped by palms, village paths and kasbahs. Rather than rushing from one building to another, allow time for a guided walk that connects architecture to the cultivated landscape.
What to look for
Notice gardens, shade, paths and the placement of buildings in the palm grove. Ask your guide which paths are public and where walking would disturb agriculture or residents.
What to discover
- Palm grove paths
- Kasbah landscapes
- Village and garden life
