Ras Tarsha



Ras Tarsha - The high point of the deaf.  Battleground where French Soldiers and Berbers (Amazigh/native North Africans) fought in the 20s. Some say you can still find bullet holes in the cliffs.




The day after the Eid, we drove south of Azrou to Timahdte, Bakrit, Oum Rabia Falls. We stopped at Lake Ouiouane for a barbecue picnic and headed further north back to Azrou. The drive was gorgeous and it was a beautiful sunny day, except a quick rain storm right after we started cooking lunch. Overall the drive was 165 km.

We made the loop starting in Azrou and heading southeast. Where the road is not connected on google maps was a rocky road partially washed away by rains. After the Oum Rbia springs we headed north back to Azrou. Right before Azrou is a beautiful place Kharzouza where the road winds around the mountain and you get a nice view of some cliffs.
