Rochers peints de Tafraout
An open-air artwork in the granite of the Anti-Atlas
About this site
Near Tafraout, in the heart of the Anti-Atlas, granite boulders and small hills are painted blue, red, violet and white: the work of the Belgian artist Jean Verame, nicknamed “The Blue Rocks”. With the approval of King Hassan II, he went there with a team of firemen and 18 tonnes of paint and worked for three months. The piece echoes his “line of peace” painted in Sinai. Tafraout itself lies in a small valley at the foot of Djebel Lekest, a pink granite mountain, surrounded by almond, olive and argan trees.
