Rissani, the seat of the Alaouite family, the current ruling family of Morocco, is also on the route. Make a stop between Tinjdad and Erfoud to explore the fascinating underground water channels, providing cool temperatures and preserving this vital source of irrigation. In Erfoud, take a moment to witness the intricate craftsmanship of thousands of fossils transformed into various artifacts. Enjoy a delightful lunch in a Berber village along the way.
