- Msoura
-
Msoura (also Mzoura) is the site of a stone circle of northern Morocco. It is located 25 kilometres south of Asilah and consists of 167 monoliths surrounding a tumulus of almost 55 metres of diameter. One of the monoliths, known as El Uted (the pointer) measures more than 5 m.
Legend claims it is the tomb of the giant Antaeus. Recently connected (2009) by a new tarmac road to the coastal town of Asilah, but in Summer 2011, the road was in pretty bad shape and shouldn't be attempted in wet weather.
