Fint is a magical oasis located about 12 kilometers south of Ouarzazate, just below a valley surrounded by rocks. You can't find such green scenery anywhere.
The edge of Oued Fint is composed of several small villages. This display of beautiful scenery includes fascinating volcanic rocks that belong to the Anti-Atlas, and greenery made up of beautiful date palms.
The walk through the Oasis is magnificent, thanks to its microclimate and its impressive flora. No one should miss strolling along the river and this beautiful natural spot among the palm groves, pomegranate trees, and oleanders.
A filming location for many famous movies
Don’t be surprised if you encounter a film crew in the Oasis. The traditional adobe villages are perfectly integrated into the landscape, which has made it the perfect set place for many famous movie scenes, such as Kingdom of Heaven of Orlando Bloom (2005), Indigènes with Jamel Debbouze (2006), Babel with Brad Pitt et Cate Blanchett (2006), Prince of Persia with Jake Gyllenhaal (2010), Game of Thrones (2013) …
Participatory tourism
In an engaging and collaborative way, the villagers’ activities are directed toward participatory and sustainable tourism while maintaining a traditional way of life. The irrigation system for the gardens, which is jointly managed to maintain the irrigation canals (seguia) that crisscross the palm grove, is a good example.
The villagers are always open to greeting and assisting visitors in exploring this charming location with their hospitality and way of sharing stories about their everyday lives, history, and traditions.
