In the remote outpost of Sebt Aït Bououli, 14km off the main road, trekkers stock up on food for their M’Goun traverse at the Saturday souq .
Some 2.5km beyond Sebt Aït Bououli, you’ll have to squint to make out a picturesque trio of villages built right into a two-toned purple and ochre bluff. On green terraces are gambolling lambs that are the valley’s claim to fame: Bououli means ‘Those who keep sheep’.
