Figuig Things to Do

JUST LOOKING OUT OVER FIGUIG

Guide books mention 'La Platforme' in the ksar of Zenaga (the southernmost ksar, on the plain near the Algerian border) as a place to see the whole of Figuig from. I couldn't find this, nobody seemed to know about it & I would expect an elevated viewing-platform to be moderately visible.

However, a great view can be obtained from the minaret of the old mosque. You don't even get hassled for a donation. To my shame, I had nothing on me but large-denomination notes when I did this, & was not feeling flush enough to give DH100.

The mosque itself is interesting: it's very old , with an unusual tapered rough-stone octagonal minaret. (different sources give different dates, further confused by the use of the Islamic & Christian calendars)
