We love exploring our valleys and we will be able to show you so many types of unique species of plants.
You can find different types of plants depending on the area we are going to explore during our tours!
Our customers always love the botanical aspect of our tours!
The climate on the coast is very nice and favorable for the healthy growth of great vegetation.

The costal vegetation is mainly a large collection of Casuarina, Eucalyptus, Citrus, Loquat, Acacia and many others. Casuarina plants are not exclusively native to Morocco: you can find them in a few other Southern Hemisphere countries too. I saw a lot of them in Namibia and in Australia.
In the wetter places there are meadows and orchards with plants such as fennel, commonly found.

You can find the Cedar forest on the Middle Atlas mountains.
Generally in the mountainous steppe regions you will find unique species of shrubs, jujube trees, mastics, poplars, tamarisks and willows.
The overall vegetation is Mediterranean in the mountains with thuya, holm oak, juniper.
The plains have cork oaks, olive trees and the argan trees.
You can find the esparto plants and the artemisia plants in the interior region.
The Alpine zone is typically above the 2500m: you can find Vicia canescens in huge quantity.
So many species of plants are exclusive and found nowhere else. The Vicia canescens are not palatable to goats which has saved them from being grazed unlike other plants.
The Argan tree forest has a very high value: Argan trees are useful in cosmetics and creation of medicines.
There are national parks planned to conserve these Argan forests. These trees not only have cosmetic value they also have great resistance to droughts and have capability to adjust to the environmental changes.
Even the Sahara desert is home to some herbs and small shrubs. Generally in the steppe areas the scrub vegetation is mostly climax vegetation like Ephemerals in north and halophytes in sandy areas. Overall the sandy desert does not support much vegetation. The vegetation is precious and efforts are being taken to ensure that it is saved from extinction as it will help slow down desertification.
