History
The Palmeraie grew from managed irrigation systems that supported Marrakech for centuries; palms were planted to shade fields and stabilize soils, while the city’s red walls come from local sandstone used in historic construction.
Conservation
The oasis is fragile—avoid trampling root zones, dispose of waste properly and support guides who follow sustainable grazing and visitor routes to protect the palms.
