Spring Ritual

Zahria of Marrakech

The celebration of orange blossom distillation and the awakening of nature in the ochre city.

Art of Living & Heritage

The perfume of Moroccan memory

Every spring, Marrakech awakens to the enchanting scent of bitter orange trees (Naranj). The Zahria is a unique moment of sharing where families and institutions gather for the sacred ritual of distillation.

"Orange blossom is not just a perfume, it is a link between our land, our traditions, and our spirituality."

Initiated by the Al Muniya Association, this event revives the tradition of "la Katra" and celebrates the Moroccan-Andalusian art of living through Malhoun concerts and conferences on the history of gardens.
