【 摘 要 】

The travertines of El Ksiba form cliffs with an extension of about 8 km and a variable height that can reach about thirty meters. They are developed on lacustrine limestones and conglomerates of early Quaternary age. The results reveal the high scientific (≅0.88) and aesthetic (≅0.88) values related to the strong representativeness of the regional geological phenomena. The assessment also shows the high economic (≅0.75) and cultural value (≅0.81). In this work, we presented the strategies of valorization and protection of this heritage in the framework of rural socio-economic development through activities related to geo-tourism and geo-education.
