The toughest day of the hike: crossing the desert planes southwest of Ait Touss until we reached the pass close to Jbel Issif. Then down the pass and across Tizi n'Fzat to finally reach Zaouiat Ahansal after 13h of walking under 32C...
Desert planes southwest of Ait Touss
The longer day than expected was due to a map reading error. After Ait Touss we came across a dry lake where a few people gathered around a providential well. After quenching our thirst we continued and reached a pasture were we took a wrong right. The wrong path led us to a small settlement and a dangerous encounter with a unfriendly dog. Saved by the herder who was kind enough to take us back to the good path, we finally reached the pass.

We arrived exhausted to Zaouiat Ahansal and decided to stay the night at a hostel, the Gite Oued Ahansal.
