By virtue of its continuous valley, the Ziz valley is a veritable river of lush vegetation (an estimated 2 million date palm trees) that cuts through; an otherwise dry region of desert canyons and tepui-like plateaus. The valley is dotted with a string of kasbahs (fortresses) built to protect families in what remained a lawless land until the 1930s.
