Itinerary description

Quinto giorno, usciti da N'kob dopo un breve tratto di strada in costruzione inizia la parte sterrata che ci fa nuovamente attraversare il Jbel Saghro in direzione Skoura.
La prima parte è davvero bella e con panorami strepitosi, un po meno la discesa verso Skoura dove il tutto si fa un po meno interessante.
All'orizzonte si iniza a scorgere la torre del campo solare di Ouarzazate illuminato dai riflessi di migliaia di specchi che la puntano.
Segue monotono tratto asfaltato fino a Kelaat Mgouna dove saliamo verso nord per fare un percorso denominato la Valle delle Rose, ma il meteo che sembra peggiorare le lo stato della pista che non aiuta decidiamo di cercare una scorciatoia verso Ait Ben Ali dove pernotteremo.

On the fifth day, we left N'kob and encountered a short stretch of road under construction before reaching the dirt track that took us back across Jbel Saghro towards Skoura. The initial part was truly beautiful, with breathtaking views, although the descent towards Skoura was slightly less interesting.

On the horizon, we began to catch a glimpse of the tower of the Ouarzazate solar power plant, illuminated by the reflections of thousands of mirrors directed towards it. We then followed a monotonous stretch of asphalt until we reached Kelaat Mgouna, where we headed north to embark on a route known as the Valley of Roses. However, due to worsening weather conditions and the poor state of the track, we decided to find a shortcut towards Ait Ben Ali, where we planned to spend the night.
