The beginning begins with the corner of Sidi Hamza at the foot of Mount Ayachi, then Figuig with its palaces, streams and oases. Figures is the city that was not affected by the 1945 famine, and from it the popular proverb “Above Figures” was derived.
The next destination is the foothills of the Beni Yeznassen mountains in the beautiful and quiet Tafogalt region. We conclude our tour in the city of Oujda, the city of a thousand years and the eastern gateway to Morocco, then return via the coastal road, passing through Saidia, Nador or Al Hoceima.
A journey in which we connect northern Morocco with its east, passing through its center, covering more than 2,500 km
