Story
Pull over at any viewpoint above the dam and the water will stop the car for you — Bin el-Ouidane, a reservoir in the Atlas fed by the El Abid and Ahansal rivers, is a startling inland sea of blue-green set among red hills. Boating, fishing and lakeside lodges make it a cool-climate escape from the Marrakech heat; the dam itself is an impressive piece of mid-century engineering that tamed the highlands for power and irrigation. This is for the rest-stop traveller, the angler, the family wanting water and calm without the crowds — the road in is half the pleasure, winding through gorges and berber villages. Morocco does not only carry its water in aqueducts and khettara; here it holds a whole lake against the mountain, and lets the kingdom drink.
