About

Berkane, Morocco, a charming town near the Algerian border, is the gateway to the picturesque Zegzel region, famous for its lush landscapes and citrus groves. This village grows a variety of fruits and vegetables, but its specialty is oranges and clementines.

In this town, all official structures honor the fruit's color. Even the taxis are orange. A statue of a clementine sits in the city center, recognizing the fruit's significant role in the community.
