What to do in Skoura and surrounds

With the Atlas Mountains in the distance, an Oasis of 1,000 Palms in between and the endless terracotta dunes, Skoura and its surrounding landscape is postcard-ready. Explore the Valley of the Roses on foot, by bike, cycling through the palmeraie, or atop a camel with a ride along the knife-edges of the dunes. Then, venture over to the ancient Berber city of Ouarzazate where there are jam-packed souks and tagines to rival the best of them.
