No one is sure how roses first came to this remote corner of Morocco, high in the Atlas Mountains, six hours’ drive southeast of Marrakesh. According to legend, they were carried here centuries ago by a Berber merchant from Damascus; the species that grows here is Rosa damascena, the Damask rose, which originates from ancient Syria and has been celebrated for centuries for its intense perfume. #Morocco #camelsafaries s #travelling #Localguide #festival #tourswithlocals #wonderlust #usa🇺🇸 #localexperience #experienceit (at Kelaat Mgouna) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdE7scXIafw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
