More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You kick gravel as the buggy settles into a rutted track and the Palmeraie opens—rows of tall date palms bending over sandy lanes, volcanic ridgelines smearing the horizon, and the sudden silhouette of a low Berber village. The engine chatter and wind are constant companions as the guide steers toward sun-baked dirt, leaving the city’s bustle behind.

History
The Palmeraie grew around traditional irrigation systems and expanded during the French resident-general era, becoming both an agricultural oasis and a dotted landscape of villas.
Conservation
The palm oasis depends on local water and careful trail use; stick to established routes, avoid off-trail driving, and support operators who follow local conservation practices.
