Historically, local Berber communities have inhabited the area, playing a significant role in maintaining its ecological balance. Visitors can enjoy a range of recreational activities such as hiking along scenic trails that offer breathtaking views, wildlife viewing opportunities with species like Barbary deer and various birds, and exploring intriguing caves.
