| To the east of Ouarzazate, extends the valley of Dadès (called "valley of a thousand kasbahs"), which curves between the mountains of the High Atlas, to the north, and the chains of the djebel Sarho, to the south, offering an arid and desert landscape, from where emerges suddenly the sumptuous palm plantation of Skoura (to 42 km from Ouarzazate). |
| Founded in the XIIth century by Yacoub el Mansour, under the ALMOHAD dynasty, the palm plantation draws its name from the Berber tribe which once lived there, the Haskourene (several populations followed since, of which some Arab tribes originating from Tafilalt) - rich in varied cultures: pomegranates, almond trees, apricot trees, fig trees, and... rose trees, cultivated for the production of the famous water of pink (each year, occurs in May, in the "valley of the Pinks", the Festival of the |
| Pinks, pretext for many folk demonstrations) |
