Oasis of Figuig

The Oasis of Figuig is a historic, lush green area located in northeastern Morocco near the Algerian border. It features a network of palm groves, traditional irrigation systems, and ancient kasbahs (fortified villages). Surrounded by arid desert, it has sustained local communities for centuries through agriculture, especially date farming. The oasis's resilience comes from its interconnected water channels and adapted farming techniques, making it a vital cultural and economic hub in the region. Its unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance offers insight into sustainable living in desert environments.
