Tatiouine Valley

Total relaxation at the edge of the mountain

Before arriving at Oued Moulouya, Assif Outat crosses its way through the fool of Jbel Ayachi. As a result, it has carved the Tatiouine gorges throughout time, and its waters generously irrigate the valley’s fields.

There is a wonderful world to discover on long hikes through apple orchards and rocky cliffs. Hikers will pass easy circuits, observe a rich and unspoiled ecosystem, and see a rustic reservoir with several seguias under the snow-capped peaks of Jbel Ayachi. They will also explore the walls of the gorge that are filled with caves. The view from the summit of Tizi Tazigzaout at the valley and the surrounding fields is breathtaking.

At the end of the day, you can sleep under the stars by camping on the Oued’s edge, or you can spend the night at Ksar Tatiouine. Because of the facilities it provides, this Ksar is suitable for spending several days in the valley and explore its attractions. As part of l’Initiative Nationale du Développement Humain (the National Initiative for Human Development), the village has a warm and authentic lodge, which is run by a couple. It allows you to recover after a long day of hiking and recharge your batteries before the next trip. It is also an opportunity to have a one-of-a-kind human experience and to learn about local culinary delights.
