A spot for viewing Barbary macaques similar to Moudmame, this area has a large car park, picnic tables, toilets and an enormous dead cedar tree. There are a few makeshift shops selling fossils and snacks. A 4km path between the two sites makes a pleasant one-hour walk and you'll likely see monkeys.
