As you explore the villages, you'll have the chance to admire their distinctive architecture, observe local artisans at work

Here, you'll learn how Argan nuts are harvested and processed, gaining insight into the traditional methods that have been passed down through generations. The cooperative plays a vital role in supporting the community, providing women with skills and economic independence.
