Jbel Saghro Discovery – Nomads Hike 6 Days
N’Kob is located in Jbel Saghro, a very inaccessible and rural region par excellence, with a population of around 68,000 inhabitants, with only two large towns located on the only major and tarred road: N’Kob and Tazzarine , villages of stones and adobe, where ingenious irrigation systems allow the cultivation of wheat, barley, vegetables and fruit trees (almond, walnut and some peach trees).
Country of the Aït Atta (or Hatta), sheep and goat breeders who change pastures once or twice a month to practice transhumance, especially in the summer when they leave these mineral lands transformed into a burning desert, to go north and stay in khaïma, traditional nomadic tents, made of thin goat hair strips.
