From there, we'll travel through the Ziz Valley to Erfoud, an oasis town that is known as the gateway to the Sahara desert and is famous for its unique fossils. We'll have the opportunity to visit a local factory that produces artisanal and home decor items made from fossils, and there will also be a local shop where you can purchase souvenirs made from fossils.
