Anti Atlas
Astonishing synthesis of mountain and desert landscapes, nestling between the Central High Atlas and the Sahara, the Anti-Atlas offers uncommon and unique landscapes. Found there are lunar and bewitching scenery of Djebel Saghro, huts of Ait Atta nomad shepherds, black rocks of Jbel Siroua, which astonishingly contrast with its vast pasture land in flower and its beautiful villages in pisé, where barley, saffron and almond trees are grown.
