    Turnoff to the pools at the Source Bleu de Meski, constructed by Foreign Legionnaires in the Ziz Valley, just outside Er-Rashidia. Locals from a nearby village often come down to the waters outside of the Source Bleu de Meski for their daily water supply and tourists come to this attraction to enjoy the unique atmosphere and environment. Souvenir sellers and vendors also take advantage of the influx of tourists to sell some of their goods.

    There is a small entrance fee into the Source Bleu de Meski and the whole area is divided into two different sections. Most tourists visit the first pool, as it is in this first bathing area where the original source of the water can be found. The water comes from a river that runs through the mountain above the pools, and enters into the Source Bleu de Meski through a hole in the wall of the mountain.

    As of 2024 there was no water in the pools. Even before, not many tourists swam in the pools, but used to hope seeing locals, as legends say that the pools increase fertility. The visitors hoped to see candlelight reflecting off the water and dressed adorned with amulets, shells and ribbons, young girls to bathe in the waters of the Source Bleu de Meski in hopes to increase their chances of falling pregnant easily. The crumbling walls and ruins of the Kasbah, located next to the springs, offer another opportunity for exploration.
