The Seven Villages of Figuig
Figuig is an oasis town that consists of seven walled villages located in northeastern Morocco. Surrounded on three sides by the Algerian border, Figuig was once the last stop in Morocco for pilgrims who were setting out on the long journey to Mecca. Nowadays it is not possible to enter Algeria without a visa and Figuig no longer serves as a stop-over point for travelers. It is, however, a place of interest for tourists who would like to see what life is like for Moroccans living on the edge of an ocean of sand – the Sahara Desert.
