Midés, the mountain oas

Up in the Atlas mountains we drove on a small road to reach the Midés oas. It's almost on the algerian border and we could see the watch towers. Here we met a nice guide who took us on a walk in the canyon. Down there we saw traces of wild boar and cobras. Where we walked it was now dry and 40 degrees but in winter it was three meter of water and it had happened that the village on the top had been flooded.
Here the movie "The english patient" was shot. It is a spectacular area with high mountains, deep canyons and palm trees.
