Archeological enthusiasts visiting Morocco will be excited to learn that the kingdom has added four new rock carving sites that have recently been excavated to its national heritage list. Among them are Azrou Klan at Laâouina commune, Adrar Zerzem, Tarslt, and Oumougjim. All the sites are located in the Guelmim province and some date back to 6th-century neolithic times.
Guelmim is considered a symbol of cultural diversity and holds historical importance in Morocco. It is linked with different Amazigh tribes and races. Traces of their presence can be discovered on cave engravings and rock shelters. Guelmim is also home to kasbahs, granaries, and a Sunday camel market. The town has a population of 200,000 and is the main gateway to the Sahara Desert.
The region also attracts Green travel and seaside tourism. The province boasts a white sandy beach located inside of an ecological park and is considered one of Morocco’s most beautiful beaches. It stretches for forty kilometers. Guelmim is located south of the Souss-Massa region and the northeastern corner of Western Sahara. Its main city has an airport.
