More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You leave Errachidia at first light and the road opens like a ribbon through date palms and pale rock. The Ziz River, narrow but determined, pushes the landscape into green bands — palms bending in the desert wind, small villages bright against ochre hills. As the vehicle hums east, dunes begin to appear on the horizon; they don’t announce themselves so much as dare you toward them.
