Descrizione
This site is situated at the mouth of the Oued Massa, which acts as a magnet for all the regions wildlife, since it is the most important river in this, otherwise desolate, desert area. The main highlight is that the area holds the biggest of only two remaining breeding colonies of Ibis eremita in the entire world. This remains the main reason to visit the area, but the site is also great for many other waders, Fenicottero, Cormorano and raptors.

When trying your luck with the Ibis eremita, keep in mind that they tend to be here at the hottest part of the day, needless to see that you are in fact in the Sahara desert and the heat can be almost unbearable here. The birds usually favor the beach, at the very mouth of the river, but they may be seen in flight more upstream as well.
