Listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN on its Red List of Threatened Species, the Addax (Addax nasomaculatus) is receiving attention from conservation groups who are taking action to prevent it from becoming extinct. Mainly through indiscriminate hunting, the Addax has been driven from its original habitat which is believed to have stretched throughout Northern Africa, across the Arabian Peninsula and into the Asian region, known in ancient times as Levant. Research reveals that there are likely less than 300 of these magnificent animals remaining in the wild, but up to 1,600 are found in captivity around the world. Morocco is participating in a program to reintroduce the Addax into the wild in the Souss-Massa-Draâ region, by caring for herds that have been bred in captivity at Germany's Hanover Zoo.

Located in the central High Atlas Mountains, around 200 kilometers east of Marrakech, Ait Bougmez Valley is unspoiled nature at its best. It has been compared to the majesty of the Himalayan Mountains, its lush orchards and green pastures surrounded by snow-capped mountains being quite different from the usual images of barren beauty readily associated with Morocco. The small towns with their mud brick houses scattered throughout the valley enhance its unspoiled atmosphere.

While in Marrakech it is recommended that visitors take the time out to relax and enjoy the beauty of the Arsat Moulay Abdeslam Cyber Park. The park is eight hectares in size and was commissioned by Prince Moulay Abdeslam in the eighteenth century. He constructed the park as a food producing area, but it was restructured into a botanical garden by the French during their occupation. The park eventually became derelict as no organization was put in charge of it. With locals using the park for football and other activities, the grounds became eroded and not a glimmer of its former beauty remained.
