Smara — The City of Books and Sands

Smara is not just another desert town.
Founded in the early 20th century as a spiritual and intellectual hub, it became a beacon of learning and culture in the Moroccan Sahara.
Its libraries, scholars, and traditions reveal a legacy where the desert was both a home for silence and a cradle of wisdom.
To visit Smara is to walk through the living memory of the Sahara.
