Embark on a breathtaking day trip that will take you through the stunning High Atlas mountain range and the famous Tizi-n-Tichka Pass. It's fascinating to imagine that this pass used to be a critical stronghold on the ancient Salt Road caravan routes. Traders would transport valuable commodities such as enslaved people, gold, ivory, and salt from sub-Saharan Africa to Marrakech and other parts of the world. It's incredible to reflect on the history of this area and the journeys taken by those who traversed these paths long ago.
