The inhabitants of the Atlas and the surrounding valleys are famous for their admirable adaptation to the difficult conditions of their lands. On the scarce tillable ground, they harvest barley and wheat in june and maize in october. Their small fields are surrounded by groves of pomegranates, walnut, fig and almond trees. Everything is based on an irrigated terrace system fed by a complex water channelling system.
