TAFILALET
Ziz Gheris Between two rivers during capricious and devastating floods, Tafilalet deploys a vast palm grove surrounded by dunes blonde. Since 1971, Hassan Addakhil Er Rachidia can control the waters of the Ziz and ensure regular irrigation and siltation. But the magic Tafilalet also lies in its past prestigious final stage before the caravan across the Sahara.
In memory of a brilliant prosperity. Tafilalet played a very important role in the economic and political history of Morocco. As evidenced by the bright memory of Sijilmassa was on the road gold and that of salt, instead of passing caravans of slaves from Sudan and Guinea. Cradle of the reigning dynasty, fought over this province, last for centuries, different dynasties, has retained some vestiges of its e prestigious past.
It is difficult, despite current attempts to enhance, to get an idea of the richness of this region was gradually ^ devastated by floods, deforestation and forest, the invasion of sand and high content salt from the soil that leaves a white film on the surface characteristic; addition to this the bayoud today, a disease that dries up the palm trees. Only important resource: the Takaoute, secretion of the tamarisk flowers rich in tannin and used in tanning hides.
Road: 79 Km from Er Rachidia Erfoud by P32 and P21 roads.
