Very little tourist, this valley offers to the walkers to enter the pastoral and agricultural life of the Berber populations which live along the river.
The rose of Damascus are the only species present here. This flower perfectly adapted to the climate and the hazards of the river gives off a striking perfume. Once harvested it is transformed into rose water which is famous and contributes to the wealth of the region.
But the valley of roses is also the cultivation of wheat and alfalfa, the abundance of vegetables in the gardens, the countless prickly pear trees, poplars that serve as timber and finally the thousands of flowers and butterflies.
It must be said that here the agricultural techniques are ancestral. No mechanization, the arm is the only tool. While the men are busy with the tasks of force as the maintenance of the irrigation channels, the ploughing of the grounds and the construction of the houses, the women collect the fruits of nature. It is also an agriculture without fertilizer which allows the populations, as well as the very rare walkers, to taste a healthy cuisine. The Berber populations always welcome the traveler around a mint tea or a good meal concocted with the fruits of the garden. It is a rare moment of exchanges and complicit glances that it is necessary to know how to take the time to appreciate.
