Historic train: the "lezard rouge"
This is one of the most spectacular train trips one can take: the historical "Lezard Rouge" (red lizard") train travels through stony desert landscapes, mountains, gorges, but also stops at green oases. The Lezard rouge used to serve the phosphate mines from Metaloui, but nowadays it is only a tourist attraction. The ancient carriages are a sight themselves, but the main sight is the scenery the train passes through. The train needs less than an hour for the distance and then returns the same way it has come - giving you a second opportunity to take pictures of the spots you missed ...
