Archaeology handicrafts and science and technology sites to visit Morocco

8 km north of Merzouga, the village of Hassi Labiad, quieter than Merzouga, is home to a beautiful oasis in the middle of the desert, where it's pleasant to stroll in the coolness of the water and palm trees. It's the epitome of a community oasis, with every household owning a cultivable plot. The land is irrigated by an ingenious system that communicates with all the plots. Each household has a set time for watering its plantations each week. Vegetables, fruit and herbs grow here in the middle of the desert!

In the surroundings of Azrou, there is the possibility to go on a day trip to discover the lakes. This tour is best done outside the summer (the lakes are often dry). The most important lake in the region is Lake Aaoua, which is the first lake you will encounter on your way. This is followed by a succession of smaller lakes, which will take you back to the main Fès-Ifrane road. You can also join Sefrou directly. All these destinations are fairly well indicated by signs along the route.

Less touristic than those inside the ramparts. A space is reserved for them, outside the ramparts. However, we recommend arriving early to enjoy the show. Indeed, the men of the mountains and surrounding villages go down with their goods that they will trade or sell before going to their weekly market. It is an important place of exchange in the region, particularly interesting around 10am, when the activity is at its peak, and when sheep and lambs run among grocers and carpet merchants..

About 10 kilometers from Imouzzer Kandar, here is a pleasant excursion in the middle of nature that will delight hiking enthusiasts. Although the djebel Abad surprises by its 1 768 meters of altitude, its ascent, of a duration of less than one hour, proves rather easy, through wooded landscapes. Once you reach the top, you will enjoy an exceptional panorama of the Sais plain and the Zerhoun Jebel. The surrounding area also attracts leisure enthusiasts with its many clear water springs, ideal for cooling off in summer.
