Two Moroccan sites are selected to be characterized for the ELT telescopes. These sites are in the Atlas, between Oukaimeden (where is the national observatory) and The Canaries Islands. For a preliminary study, we will use the TOMS/Nimbus7 aerosol index (AI), threshold 0.7, to extract the astronomical extinction (AE), threshold 0.2 mag/airmass. In fact, on the one hand, one previously work showed the link between these parameters over the Canaries Islands (ORM Observatory). On the other hand, many studies proposed the dust characterization for the future extremely large telescope for a mandatory qualification.
