Along the way, your local guide introduces you to the landscape, agriculture and Amazigh traditions of the region. Depending on the season and local availability, you may encounter residents working in the gardens or practicing traditional crafts.
The hike also leads to elevated viewpoints overlooking the oasis, offering beautiful contrasts between the green vegetation, traditional architecture and surrounding desert cliffs.
