A break is possible in a village in the Atlas, with a visit to Ait Ben Haddou which is near Ouarzazate. Ait Ben Haddou is a Ksar classified as a UNESCO heritage site. In the evening, it is planned to spend the night either with locals in the village, or in a comfortable fixed bivouac, in the heart of the palm grove.

After a break to rest, we continue our way towards the sanctuary of Sidi Naji. Oral tradition reports that this marabout lived 18 grandfathers ago!
