What to do where to stay in capital of dates
Why not venture off to explore Erfoud and its palm groves when traveling in Southern Morocco? This lovely village is located in the middle of the desert at the base of the High Atlas Mountains along the route of a thousand kasbahs. It serves as a wonderful starting point for visiting the desert of Morocco, which is home to countless spectacular scenery.
In order to keep an eye on the dissident tribes of the Tafilalet Valley, the French were the first to establish themselves in Erfoud. The town developed as a result of the booming trade in its marble and dates. Intriguing sea fossils dating back to roughly 360 million years ago include trilobites, coiled goniatites, and orthoceras.
