So it can be a nice stop on the way to the desert; however, it is only accessible if you have a 4\u00d74 vehicle. Add \u201cJorf Khettaras, R702, Morocco\u201d to your GPS, where you can also tour the ancient Moroccan irrigation system. There, you will turn to the off-road, and first will drive towards the Celestial staircase. If you don\u2019t have 4\u00d74, but still want to visit, contact local travel agencies in Erfoud, to organise a tour with a jeep.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<noscript><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>These 3 monuments are now protected and can only be viewed by paying a fee of 150 DH (this includes all three monuments).
