On
the first morning, Oumar Oulaidi′s father kindly drove me to the start of
the trek from his gite (Gite Adesen) in Tabant. I started the trek at the end
of a dust road near the villages of Arous and Tighza (shown in the photo
below). During the first day, Mohamed took another path to Abachkou along Oued
Lakhdar, which was easier for the mule.
The valley of Assif
Arous, a small side valley of the Ait Bou-Guemez valley.
