From Foum Zguid to the Iriki desert and the rock paintings of Jebel Bani 3
days-2 night
Day 1: From Foum Zguid to the Sahara Iriki hostel
Departing from Foum Zguid at the beginning of the afternoon in 4X4 we will enjoy a relaxing photo break at the Laagermia oasis near the source and its palm trees and appreciate the breathtaking view of the dry lake at the foot of Jebel El Madouar named the tagine because of its characteristic shape. We will cross the lake to get to the inn where you can enjoy a welcome tea before stopping at Fossil Mountain. You can then sit back and relax. When the evening comes and after admiring the sunset, it will be time to enjoy the fire before enjoying a delicious dinner listening to melodies and rhythms of the desert while admiring the sumptuous starry sky. You will enjoy falling asleep relaxed and peaceful in the silence that characterizes the desert so well.
Day 2: The site of the rock paintings
Take a good dose of energy when you wake up; it will be while admiring the rising of the fiery star. Then you will have a hearty breakfast. Your morning will begin at the mountain of Jebel Bani by hiking for 1 hour with an immersion in prehistoric times and its incredible riches thanks to the presence of paintings or rock engravings on the walls of the caves. Paleo park contains, something rare in Morocco, around ten. The subjects represent a culture dating back at least to the Neolithic period. The time will then come to join the village of Zaouia Sidi Abdennabi for a pleasant picnic and rest break in the gardens of the oasis in the shade of the date palm trees. The afternoon will be devoted to visiting the old ksar, the tomb of the marabout as well as meeting the inhabitants of the douar.
We will return to the inn to rest and relax, stroll around the inn and admire the sunset before spending a friendly evening with your host who with his guitar will sing you Sahrawi melodies around the fire while sipping a good tea. Once you have had a typical Moroccan dinner, you will be able to delight in the beauty of the starry sky as far as the eye can see before falling asleep peacefully. Here silence is golden.
