In April, Dar Ahlam comes alive with a unique spectacle: the ballet of migratory birds. From the garden or the terrace, you can watch flocks moving overhead, gliding across a clear sky, carried by spring thermals. Among them, white storks, returning from Africa in large formations after thousands of kilometres of travel.
Other species captivate with their grace: sand martins, red-rumped swallows, house martins, and common swifts, all passing through Morocco at this time of year.
Closer to the ground, look out for common redstarts, migratory passerines that settle in the oases from early April to breed.
This intense passage, between February and May, marks the great spring migration toward Europe, where hundreds of species take advantage of favourable winds and lush stopover sites such as the oases of Skoura. This moment is a reminder of our deep connection to the natural world.
