Gorges d’Aouli, MAplace
About
The eerie ghost-town mining village of Aouli and the dramatic crevasse it fills make an interesting road trip from Midelt. It was built by the French in the 1930s and at its peak housed an industrious community of 6000 workers, who lived on a plateau 660 steps above the gorge's river bed. Today, all but a couple of guardian families have left, but much of the abandoned mine workings remain. It's a scenic 25km drive northeast of Midelt, and Dh400 round trip by grand taxi.
