Ziz Gorges

Nearby is the Tunnel de Légionnaire built by French colonial troops in the 1930s in order to create a passageway to the Ziz Gorge.

The gorge was formed by the Ziz River cutting through the Atlas Mountains.

[citation needed] For centuries, the gorges have formed part of a traditional caravan trading route between settlements of the northern Sahara.

In the 1st century, the Roman general Gaius Suetonius Paulinus crossed through them while leading troops across the Atlas Mountains.
