Skoura Oasis

Morocco's most beautiful oasis — 1,000-year-old palm grove.

Skoura is a vast palm oasis on the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, 40 km east of Ouarzazate — home to the beautifully restored Amridil Kasbah, one of Morocco’s finest kasbah museums with its olive press and rooftop views over the palms. Quiet tracks thread between mud-brick villages, ideal for a gentle walk or bike ride. Skoura suits travellers who want kasbah culture without the crowds of Aït Ben Haddou, fitting neatly into a night between Marrakech and the Dades Valley.
