The town of Skoura is a beautiful palm-grove-lined oasis, resting on the banks of the seasonal Amerhidl River in the Ouarzazate Province of Morocco (within the scenic Dades valley or ‘Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs’). This flourishing location takes in scenes of the enthralling Atlas Mountains and boasts a multitude of Moroccan castles, vibrant souks, and lush groves of palm, olive, fig, and almond trees. Visitors can look forward to a wide array of impressive sites including the Marabout Sidi M’Barek, a magnificent pre-Islamic Muslim shrine; and the 17th-century Amerhidl Kasbah, a high-walled crenellated fortress known to be one of the largest in Morocco. Other popular Kasbahs include the Dar Ait Sidi el-Mati Kasbah, as well as the spectacular Amar and Ait Ben Abou.
