Draa Valley Palm Groves & Amezrou
Palmeraie du Drâa / Amezrou
Date palm groves stretching for tens of kilometres along the Draa River, with old mud-brick houses and former Jewish silversmith workshops in the village of Amezrou.
The Draa Valley is the longest palm oasis belt in Morocco. The village of Amezrou, on the far bank of the river from Zagora, sits right among the palms. In the old Jewish quarter you can still see silver workshops and ancient mud-brick houses. You can hire a local guide to walk through the palm groves and see the traditional irrigation channels and date cultivation. In autumn you can taste fresh dates. The sun is intense, so bring a hat and plenty of water.
