Cattle graze on lush green fields among antelopes and gazelles. Every now and then, an elephant or even a lion approaches — this is how the area along the Assa and Akka rivers, stretching from Jbel Bani to Oued Drâa, looked thousands of years ago. By following the traces of that era, one can imagine what life was like back then. Traditionally developed systems for equitable irrigation in oases can still be experienced firsthand today and impressively illustrate the importance of water. The biography of Rabbi Abi Serur Mordechai, born in Akka, is closely linked to the research journey of Charles de Foucauld, whose trek can be retraced at numerous designated points.
Between the Anti-Atlas and Jbel Bani, the desert rose — the true Rose of Jericho — grows inconspicuously among the stones, its survival strategy well-documented.
