A natural territory moulded by Man
The Palm grove of Marrakech is a fine example of the richness of Morocco's cultural and natural heritage. These hectares of land have long been a driving force for the country's economy. It was during the 11th century that the sovereign Sultan of Morocco, Youssef Ben Tachfine, decided to create this immense oasis at the foot of the Atlas Mountains in order to exploit the local groundwater resources. Many crops have thus emerged such as dates, palm hearts, palm oil and wine and wood. Over time, the Palm grove has become a popular place for tourists, especially European tourists. Since then, many hotel complexes have developed to transform the district into a luxurious destination very popular with high-end tourism.
Discovering the Palm grove
Many activities are offered on these 15,000 hectares of lush vegetation. It is impossible to be bored! The activity most popular with travellers is camel riding. An original and fun way of getting around so you can admire the many palm trees and surrounding crops. The carriage ride is also a great attraction. For the more adventurous, it is possible to ride the oasis on a four-wheeler for guaranteed thrills. If you are a
golf enthusiast, you will be delighted to be able to practice your swing at the Pam Golf Resort. The latter is one of the most beautiful golf courses in the Red City and has a 27-hole course on a 120-hectare course that combines lakes and greenery. There are also many trendy restaurants, bars and nightclubs in the area to enjoy the local festive atmosphere. A Palm grove is a real gem waiting to be discovered!
