Hiking
Sidi Chamharouch is a small town located at about 2,300 meters above sea level. The houses, which are reminiscent of Berber architecture, function as cafeterias and craft shops. The symbol of this place is the large white stone that stands out above all the buildings. It is considered sacred and, therefore, it is a place of worship and pilgrimage. It is located next to a chapel, whose access is only allowed to Muslims.
