    The Todra Oasis is a picturesque agricultural area located at the base of the Todra Gorge in Morocco. It is known for its lush palm groves, irrigated by the Todra River, and surrounded by dramatic mountain scenery. The oasis supports local farming, with crops like dates and vegetables, and serves as a serene, fertile contrast to the arid desert landscapes nearby.

    The mosque is located approximately a 30-minute walk through the palm grove from the old kasbah of Tinerhir, offering a picturesque journey through the oasis
  3. The Berber House
    1h
    A visit to a Berber family weaving carpets is an immersive cultural experience. Upon arrival, you’ll be welcomed into a cozy, traditional home. The family members, typically women, are busy at looms, skillfully weaving vibrant, intricate patterns into wool carpets. They may explain the meanings behind the designs, which are often symbolic and reflect Berber traditions. You might have the chance to try your hand at weaving, while enjoying warm hospitality, perhaps with a cup of mint tea. The air is filled with the rhythm of the loom and the rich colors of the handwoven textiles. It’s a unique opportunity to witness an age-old craft passed down through generations
