Like a broad green ribbon, the Drâa River winds through the map area. Passing through Agdz, situated between the Anti-Atlas and Jbel Sarhro, one reaches Zagora, the gateway to the desert. Along this route, the Oued Drâa meanders through a landscape of great scenic and cultural beauty. Settlement along the edge of the fertile land has grown continuously to this day. In a scientifically grounded digression, the traces of settlement forms still recognizable today since prehistory are explained. Often, the rock engravings discovered there provide further clues for dating them. Time and again, the sights on the hilltops offer fascinating views of the Drâa Valley. Numerous explorers from the 19th and 20th centuries likely felt the same way as they roamed the valley and recorded their observations.
