General presentation
Errachidia et la vallée du Ziz
Errachidia is a gateway to the Ziz Valley, where the contrast between arid reliefs and irrigated crops guides the look. Aoufous and Meski offer more localized stages in this d的oasis landscape. The discovery remains focused on the Moroccan course around Erachidia, not the entire cross-border basin.
The discovery of Errachidia and the Ziz valley is structured around Errachidia, Ziz Valley around Errachidia and Aoufous and Aoufous. The stay thus alternates between river landscapes, the countryside, desert areas and natural areas, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: the Ziz crosses several territories: do not use its mouth or entire basin as the geometry of the destination. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
