Description

Embark on a unique treasure hunt through the fossil-rich world of Erfoud. This 2-hour experience goes beyond simple shopping – it’s an immersive journey into the heart of Morocco’s fossil trade.
Your adventure begins in the workshops of local artisans, where ancient marine life transforms into beautiful art. Watch as skilled hands coax trilobites and ammonites from their rocky slumber. Here, you might stumble upon rare finds that larger shops don’t offer.
As you weave through Erfoud’s bustling streets, your guide will share insider knowledge on spotting authentic fossils and understanding their true value. You’ll learn to differentiate between common specimens and rare paleontological treasures.
A quick detour to the fragrant dates market adds a burst of local color to your fossil quest. Then, armed with your new fossil-hunting skills, you’ll explore larger emporiums, where you can apply your knowledge to find the perfect piece.
This isn’t just a shopping trip – it’s a crash course in paleontology, a meeting with local artisans, and a treasure hunt all rolled into one unforgettable experience.
