Skoura Souk

Fodor's Choice

Skoura's weekly souk is one of the largest in Morocco and takes place every Monday. It's the perfect spot to get a glimpse at local life as people from the surrounding villages come here to pick up their fruits, vegetables, and meat. It's also a good place to pick up snacks, souvenirs, and various household items. This souk doesn't see as many tourists as the ones in cities like Marrakesh and Fez, so it's best to dress conservatively out of respect for the more conservative rural culture.

Kasbah Amridil

The largest kasbah in Skoura, this 17th century fortress appeared in the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia and used to be featured on the Moroccan 50 dirham note. Kasbah Amridil still functions as a family home, but a portion of it is open to the public as a museum showcasing traditional architecture and tools such as a bread oven and an olive press.
