Ouarzazate & Skoura
The Gateway to the Great South
Between the High Atlas and the Draa Valley lies a landscape of silence and symmetry — a place where mudbrick fortresses rise from palm groves, and the desert light begins to harden into gold. Ouarzazate, often called the door of the desert, still carries its film-set glamour, but step away from the studios and you find yourself in Skoura, a vast oasis watered by ancient khettaras (underground canals) and filled with the scent of date palms and roses. This region is the natural pause between the mountain passes and the open Sahara — a stretch of earth that holds the memory of both.s, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
