Many residents of Erfoud and Errachidia have agricultural holdings in the valley, and since dates need a hot temperature and little water, they concentrate on raising the finest varieties. Dates also need suitable soil, which may be found in the region.
If you are interested in visiting Ziz valley for photographic reasons, please see the three-day trip schedule above.
