The second location to see is the Rose Valley, which is accessible via the expansive Skoura palm grove. This area is a beautiful place to take in the surroundings and the several kasbahs that have been constructed there. Roses are grown in this valley damascenes for use in beauty products like the highly prized rosewater.
