Description
D'une superficie totale de 60.000 ha au Nord-Est de Tarfaya, la lagune de Khnifiss est un fleuron des réserves marocaines qui offre une diversité étonnante de biotopes dans un milieu désertique austère mais à la beauté paysagère somptueuse. Les valeurs naturelles du site sont rehaussées par la présence de vestiges archéologiques préhistoriques et historiques sur lesquels des recherches pluridisciplinaires se penchent ces dernières années.
