- Sakia El Hamra Wetland Walk
The Ramsar-listed Sakia El Hamra at Laayoune allows a city visit to include hydrology and habitat without leaving the urban setting behind. A nature interpreter chooses a public, non-sensitive observation point and explains the wadi's variable water, vegetation and relationship with roads and neighbourhoods. The activity does not publish nesting sites, promise permanent surface water or turn drainage infrastructure into a promenade.
- Laayoune
Laâyoune est la capitale du sud — la plus grande ville des provinces méridionales du Maroc, bâtie le long de la Sakia el Hamra, le lit de rivière dont le nom signifie « le canal rouge » et qui verdit les terres alentour quand l'eau rare vient.
