Plateaux and cliffs alternate with deep gorges. Further down, the Kik plateau seems to dig the Atlas and the Agafay desert lets us think of southern Morocco. 

Throughout the year, the Kik plateau changes seasonally: Brown when farmers plow the land with their mules. white in winter with the snowy peaks of the Atlas. Green in spring, when barley fields of bright green are dotted with poppies. And finally the yellow in summer that announces the harvests.
