2 Best Sights in The Great Oasis Valleys, Morocco

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.

Midway between Erfoud and Rissani, this private museum is hard to miss—just look for the giant replica dinosaurs standing outside. Take a peek inside at the interesting, well-presented collection curated by Moroccan paleontologist Brahim Tahari; it includes fossils, bones, minerals, flints, crystals, and assorted oddities.

There’s a shop attached if you want to purchase your own bit of prehistory.
