Palmeraie is a stunning oasis on the northern edge of Marrakech's city center, stretching over an area of 54 square miles. The region is known for its eponymous grove of several thousand palm trees, which are believed to have been planted during the Almoravid period through the use of a khettara network. It is the source of a number of ancient regional legends, giving rise to its colloquial title as the "ardent children of the African earth and sun." Today, more than 100,000 date palms grow throughout the region, along with a number of fruit and olive trees which are fed by reservoirs and irrigation wells in the area. A number of lovely resorts line the region, including the splendid Palmeraie Golf Palace and lively Nikki Beach. Map
