AHOULI
THE ABANDONED MINING VILLAGE
If you have a fascination with forgotten places, the abandoned mining village of Ahouli, nestled near Midelt in central Morocco, is an absolute treasure waiting to be discovered.
The journey to this remote village is an adventure in itself. The route takes you along a narrow, winding road, over precarious, broken bridges, and through landscapes that will take your breath away.
Once you arrive at Ahouli, you'll find a ghost town of deserted buildings and eerie tunnels waiting to be explored. The village is a photographer's dream, with its stark beauty and haunting atmosphere. The surrounding area also offers some truly stunning views that are well worth the trek.
Important Safety Reminder: Ahouli is an abandoned mining site, not a tourist destination. It can be dangerous, and you are solely responsible for your own safety. There are no safety measures in place, so proceed with caution and be aware of your surroundings.
Exploring Beyond the Village: Don't miss the opportunity to drive past the village itself. The surrounding area boasts a dramatic canyon, examples of traditional Moroccan architecture, and a historic Kasbah.
