Gorge agourzi
About This Museum
Tucked away in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains near Aguerd, the Gorge Agourzi Museum is a hidden gem that feels more like an ancient treasure chest than a formal institution. You don't just see history here; you feel it, walking through cool, cavernous spaces carved right into the rust-colored rock face. The air is thick with the scent of earth and old stories, making every artifact feel incredibly immediate. It’s an intimate and surprisingly personal journey into Morocco's deep past.
Collection Highlights
The real stars are the ancient pottery and funerary urns, their intricate patterns still visible after centuries. Scattered throughout the caves, these pieces tell a silent but powerful story of the people who once thrived in this rugged landscape.
