Tan-Tan

Tan-Tan lies in the dry country south of the Draa, near the Atlantic edge of the Sahara. A well beside the Oued Ben Khlil became a meeting point for nomadic people and their herds. Across this region, pastoral communities moved between grazing grounds with camels, sheep and goats, gathering to exchange goods and maintain ties with neighbouring groups. The nearby riverbeds carry water only intermittently through a landscape of desert plains and low hills.
