Skoura is a tranquil oasis town in southern Morocco's Ouarzazate Province, around 40 kilometres east of Ouarzazate on the road towards the Dadès Valley. Set within one of Morocco's largest and most renowned palm groves, Skoura is known for its lush gardens, earthen kasbahs, traditional villages, and striking contrast between fertile greenery and the surrounding arid landscape. Its best-known landmark is Kasbah Amridil, a historic fortified residence that offers an insight into the region's traditional architecture and rural heritage. Travellers can explore the palmeraie on foot or by bicycle, following shaded paths past date palms, orchards, irrigation channels, and centuries-old kasbahs. Skoura provides a peaceful introduction to southern Morocco's Amazigh culture and agricultural traditions, with the peaks of the High Atlas Mountains forming a spectacular backdrop.
