Short or long stay, your stay at Dar Daïf will offer you many possibilities to discover and admire all the natural and cultural treasures of the South East region of Morocco.
Ouarzazate’s Lac
Located 500 m far from Dar daïf, the lake has existed since 1971 following the construction of the El Mansour Eddahbi dam which retains 500 million m3 of water on the course of Oued Drâa. A new landscape has been reconstructed from the old oases once fed by the rivers upstream. These natural spaces have now become places of refuge for a very diverse fauna, including many migratory birds which stop there on their seasonal itinerary and after crossing the desert.
Skoura’s Oasis
The palm grove of Skoura represents the typical Oasisan space by definition. It is a place of isolated greenery in a dry environment and in which a population of diverse origins has assembled over time. In this lively place an economy was developed mainly based on an integrated agriculture, which people built according to the well-known superposition of cultures. The long palms trees, provide shade for the fruit ones. In the lower layer, which needs more shade, they plant greens like fodder and cereals. This agriculture is itself based on artificial irrigation of land and gardens. In fact, the Skoura palm oasis represents true ecological and cultural authenticity. The green gardens which embody the Marvelous Kasbahs are the product of the laborious genius of the populations who developed it generation after generation. Skoura is an island of greenery and life that reflects the history of the entire region of South East Morocco.
The Drâa valley
The Drâa valley is famous for its splendid palm groves which parade along the valley from Agdez to the dunes of M’hamid El Ghizlane, covering a route of approximately 220 Km and extending over a width of 18 km. The succession of Amazigh names of these palm groves, Mezguita, Tinzouline, Tarnata, Fazwata, Ktaoua and M’hamid, feature the discovery of a world apart, that of the oases, where the date palm is the providential tree that makes the region green yet arid and provides its people with food and commercial resources. The palm tree represents the essential element of the oasis space because it makes the gardens convenient for growing fruit trees like apricot trees, pomegranates, fig trees or cereals like wheat, barley, alfalfa, corn , as well as vegetables.
