Leave Tiznit in the direction of Agadir, then take the road to the right towards Arbaâ Rasmouka. A short walk that will take you off the tourist trail, on a circuit of about forty kilometers, to be carried out north of Tiznit, passing by the Youssef Ben Tachfine dam, built on the oued Massa. This impressive dam, which is more than 200 m long, forms a large blue artificial lake. It irrigates the plains of Chtouka and supplies water to several villages in the region. Managed by the Ministerial Department of Water and Energy, in 2022, the dam celebrated its 50 years of operation.
