Gateway to the Draa valley
On the way from Ouarzazate to the river Draa valley stands in the way the barren rocky plateau with lots of interesting rocky formations. The road culminates in the pass Tizi-n-Tinififft (1693 m asl). Definitely more interesting than the pass itself is the descent through a few twists over the canyon and through small oases in the direction of the town Agdz.
Wasteland over the pass Tizi-n-Tinififft
One would really hate to lose the way in the upland plains over the road. Wasteland is there really in all directions.
Oasis Ait Saoun under the pass
Just a little water and oasis is here.
Canyon
During the descent of the pass you drive along nicely shaped canyon, where sometimes even a few palms survive.
Canyon
Air erosion fiddled a little with local mountains.
