Tafraout Valley in tafraout, Morocco

Tafraout Valley

The Ameln Valley around Tafraout — a bowl of pink granite boulders, almond orchards, and Amazigh villages in the Anti-Atlas mountains. In February, when the almond trees bloom, the valley turns white and pink against the pink rock. The light at this altitude and latitude is unlike anywhere else in Morocco: clear, dry, and warm even in winter.
