Discovering the many attractions of Smara can be quite a task, so we've narrowed down our top 3:
Ksar of Smara
This 19th-century fortified town is Smara's crown jewel. Built entirely of mudbrick, the Ksar features a unique geometric layout with houses arranged around a central mosque. The Ksar was once a thriving desert trading post, and its narrow, winding streets offer insight into a bygone era.
The Mosque of the Blue Sultan
Ma el Ainin, also known as the Blue Sultan, founded Smara in the late 19th century. The mosque he built, featuring blue-coloured gates, is the town's most famous landmark. While the mosque itself is generally closed to non-Muslims, the adjacent zaouia (religious school) is sometimes open on Fridays.
Smara Erg
Smara sits on the edge of the expansive Smara Erg, a sea of sand dunes that stretches for hundreds of kilometres. Visitors can explore the Erg on guided 4WD tours or camel treks, experiencing the beauty and tranquillity of the Sahara Desert.
