The Oued (River) Ziz, which originates in Rich and winds its way through the impressive Ziz Gorges, animates the final southern valley of the Ziz and the Tafilalt oasis before ending in the rose-gold sands of Merzouga.
The massive Ziz Gorges, which begin about south of Rich in the Middle Atlas and approximately 30 kilometers north of Errachidia, offer a rocky route south through the Tunnel du Légionnaire, which the French constructed in 1928.
A beautiful scene may be seen when the valley opens to the south: a thick canopy of palm trees crammed between old, striated cliffs from the Jurassic era. To explore the lush, unexplored palmeraies (palm groves) here, take your time.
