Kalaat Mgouna Rose Festival

Because of its fragrant rose fields, Morocco's Dades Valley is also known as the Valley of the Roses. Every May, the harvest is celebrated at Kalaat Mgouna, an oasis village with a major rose water distilling factory. This is one of the most famous festivals in Morocco.

The three-day celebration, which begins on a Friday and draws roughly 20,000 people, includes rose parades and shops selling a variety of rose goods. Traditional song and dance, as well as the renowned Miss Roses beauty competition, provide entertainment.
