Guide map – South of Jbel Bani & Erg Chegaga
1:120,000 | Multilingual: German, English, French | 72 color photos
This richly illustrated map guide takes you south of the Jbel Bani massif, towards the sands of Erg Chegaga, in the heart of a still preserved and little-visited Moroccan desert. Designed for lovers of desert, culture and rare landscapes, it combines detailed cartography, photos, historical texts and sketches for an immersive exploration.
In folded format of 10.5 x 20 cm (unfolded: 84 x 59 cm ), the map is accompanied by 72 color photos, 7 black and white photos, as well as 13 black and white sketches and plans to enrich your reading of the terrain. The scale of 1:120,000 allows precise navigation in this remote region.
The guide suggests crossing the Jbel Bani towards the south, discovering traces of pre-Islamic settlement, enigmatic stone monuments, rock carvings and fossils. The route is also punctuated by rare species such as the Saharasteinschmätzer, a small, curious bird that one might think is as observant as it is observed.
Historical elements enrich the content, such as the possibility of visiting the former house of Charles de Foucauld in Tissint, or an article by Roger Mimó Lladós devoted to the Zaouïa of Mrimima, founded in the 18th century at a once major caravan crossroads.
A visual and cultural guide off the beaten track, perfect for travelers seeking authenticity, solitude and meaning in southern Morocco .
