In October, Erfoud becomes a town buzzing with sweet energy — it’s date harvest season, and everyone gets involved. Palm trees are full, trucks stacked high, and festivals pop up celebrating Morocco’s most beloved fruit.

You’ll taste every kind: soft, chewy, golden, dark. Some are dipped in almonds, others sold fresh from the bunch. The locals will tell you which type is for snacking, cooking, or gifting.

Visit the Date Museum, walk through the palmeraie, or join a local family to see how the dates are sorted, steamed, and packed.

It’s a sweet time — literally and culturally.

And if you want the best bundles to bring home, morocco sahara desert tour can lead you to the farms with flavor and soul.
