The oasis of Tinghir, extending for 30 km along the Wadi Todgha, includes various villages. The groves of date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) and the farmland are irrigated by a system of canals and pipes. Wadi Todgha originates in the High Atlas in the background. This image was taken on one of the few days a year when the area receives rainfall.
