"Circuit Touristique, palmeraie and wadis" Top 5 Page for this destination Rissani Off The Beaten Path Tip by sachara

South of Rissani you can drive the 21 km long circuit touristique. It's very scenic route in the palmeraie of Rissani. We drove this route with our own hired car. The road is ok, some parts can be bumpy and some parts were unpaved. Coming from the direction of Erfoud you turn right instead of left just before you will reach Rissani (the road is signposted). You can also start the route from the other side, starting fromthe Zawiya Moulay Ali ash-Sharif.

During the trip you will get a glimpse of the daily life in the palmeraie and desert. The landscape and ambiance at the edge of the desert is fascinating. The palmtrees, the eroded wadis (picture !, 2 & 4) , the earth coloured dwellings in harmony with the same colours in their enviroment (picture 3 & 5).
