Ksar Ait Goulmima

Dadès Valley


The labyrinthine Ksar Ait Goulmima is a walled village on the southeast end of Goulmima’s oasis that’s home to several hundred people. A local will offer to lead you through the palmeraie (palm grove) and ksar (fortified village) to the 500-year-old mosque and historic mellah (Jewish quarter) for a small tip (around Dh50). To get there, head through downtown Goulmima and turn right at the Errachidia roundabout; the ksar is signposted straight on.
