Windy Weekend Wonders: Exploring Skoura’s Hidden Gems

Embrace the Wind: A Journey Through Skoura’s Hidden Gems

As the sun rises over the enchanting oasis of Skoura, the promise of a windy weekend adventure beckons. With gusts reaching up to 40.9 mph on May 10th, the breeze adds a refreshing touch to the exploration of this Moroccan gem. The overcast skies create a dramatic backdrop, perfect for capturing the essence of the region’s beauty. Begin your journey with the Ouarzazate Excursion, a private tour that takes you through the mesmerizing landscapes of the Gorges Dades, Valley of Roses, and the iconic Kasbah Amridil.

The day starts early, with departures available from 8:00 AM, allowing you to make the most of the daylight. As you travel through the 1000 Kasbahs route, the lush palm groves and vibrant flower-filled valleys unfold before your eyes. The grandeur of the monumental canyons is a sight to behold, and the knowledgeable guides ensure a memorable experience. With over two decades of experience, the team provides superior service quality, making this excursion a must-do for any traveler.

“Great excursions around Ouarzazate - We left for Ouarzazate as a family by just booking the plane and the hotel. On site, we were lucky enough to meet Allal, who designed with us a day trip program around Ouarzazate. Excursion 1: Ouarzazate - Skoura - Valley of Roses - Dades Gorge. Excursion 2: Ouarzazate - Cinema Studios - Kasbah Ait Ben Haddou - Ulina Valley - Titi-N’Tichka. Excursion 3: Ouarzazate - Drâa Valley - Zagora - Tinfu Dunes (with camel ride). Excursion 4 surprise of 1/2 day: Oasis of Fint. We came across a great Guide/Driver pair with Abdul/Yassin, who introduced us to their region, decorating the excursions with less used tracks and stops in villages. At our request, we were also able to walk each time. We were also able to make as many stops as desired to admire the landscape. Beyond the excursions, we had the opportunity to meet Allal several times during our stay for a chat or a mint tea, making the experience pleasant and friendly. I recommend this travel agency! We are delighted with our week, we will be back with great pleasure:) Thank you to the whole team!” - Reviewed at 2025-03-04
