Valley of the Roses
40-minutes from Skoura lay the Valley of Roses. Almond trees in bloom from February, fruit trees, and many crops, we call it the orchard of southern Morocco because it is abundantly watered by the wadis that descend from the High Atlas. It is also called the "Valley of 1000 Kasbahs" because of the many adobe fortresses, which recall the not-so-distant period when Amazigh tribes from the mountains and the desert clashed.
arrive in the land of roses. straight out of a postcard of immutable Moroccan kasbahs and adobe houses on the edge of M'goun Valley.
According to legend, it was Amazigh pilgrims who brought back roses three centuries ago and planted them on the slopes of M’goun. Since then, the collection of semi-wild buds with a peppery scent has taken place every year in May and brings the whole valley to life. At the end of the harvest, the Mgouna tribes descend to Kelaa and gather for 3 days of jubilation where the rose water flows freely.
