Erfoud, a huge oasis, is situated in the very centre of the Tafilalet, cradle of the Alaouite dynasty. The charm of its well-ordered streets, with the traditional houses, instantly bathes you in the atmosphere. Here, you find yourself deep amidst the real Moroccan countryside, where hospitality is at the basis of all things. In October Erfoud becomes the capital city. For three days running, the town comes to life for the Guetna celebrations, to mark the end of the harvesting period. Folk dances and competitions for the most beautiful dates attract thousands of visitors. But Erfoud is also, and above all, the last city before reaching the desert, being just 15 minutes drive from the desert market town of Rissani.
