Travel across the Haouz plain to the deserted village of Aghmat, established by the Berbers prior to the advent of Islam. Proceed to ighref (the trailhead) to ascend Jebel Yagour, a peak renowned for its prehistoric engravings. Take in the sweeping vistas of the tiny Berber settlements scattered throughout the area, as well as the clear waters coursing through the hilly terrain to water the Ourika Valley.
