How to see goats grazing on trees in Marrakesh
Marocco is only in one place on the Earth where goats graze on tall trees balancing on thin branches. It happens since under the scorching Moroccan sun the grass simply doesn't grow.

To see the world-famous phenomenon of tree-climbing goats is possible outside the city on the route between Marrakesh and Essaouira.
