Aguinane Oasis

Aguinane OASIS, an indelible memory

Your stopover at the Aguinane Oasis will remain a highlight of your trip before heading to the desert ( Iriki National Park for example). In Aguinane, we recommend a walking tour of the Oasis by following the seguias – water pipes then returning by the bed of the Oued. Don’t hesitate to ask someone to show you the water retention basins, the water clock and the water distribution system.

The Aguinane Oasis is an incredible stopover because the village is a haven of tranquility and offers breathtaking landscapes.You have paths on both sides of the gorges for a hike at altitude (unforgettable photo shoot).
