Ait Mansour Oasis

Highlight • Natural

After riding through wide open desert this oasis is a stunningly beautiful break. The road winds it's way slowly up covered in arching palm trees. There are a few guesthouses along the route with rooftop cafes with mint tea and berber omelette. Great place to escape the midday sun.
