You have the following options from Figuig: ( Check Wikiloc.com for)
Figuig »» Iche Oasis
Iche Oasis »» Tendrara (Via Chot Tigri -Military Piste)
Tendrara »» Ain Beni Mathar (Believe it was a Dakar stage)
I will be doing them in March 2013.

Have a look at the ME6 - Figuig-Bouarfa update on this page. They say the gorge is blocked as they're building a dam. Don't know if it's blocked for good, but they liked Icht very much.
There's another route in the area as shown below in red.
I think it's in Gandini and passes station on the old railway to Colomb Bechar (Alg). Should be a nice desert piste.

Since i am following updates on this area through regular overlanders to this area (Land Lousa)
They are referring to a gravel stony piste for Mengoub (Mengoub Station) to Figuig and describe it as pleasant scenery but tough on 4x4 suspension.
There are a couple of points of interest in the area, Gandini guide has a good coverage (prehistoric drawings / lac Dayat Lhajal / Chott Tigri crossing.
I can help you out with the info i have if you like just PM me.

Thanks everyone,
we'll be heading from Erfoud to Figuig on a hybrid on the ME routes and had spotted the piste from Mengoub to Figuig. Handy knowing about the dam construction in advance though
Che's posts will be a big help

Don't suppose anyones knows if the old railway is passable or has a service track alongside?

hi everyone
I am new in this forum
I am a teacher in bouarfa city (100km from figuig where I am from)
there is a piste between oujda (taourirt)and tendrara (chotte tigri)and a piste between tendrara and iche village and a piste between iche and figuig
from errachidia there is only one piste between mengoub and figuig oasis
to warden if you pass to bouarfa do not forget to say to me hi in my school which is in the road between bouarfa and figuig
when you get out from bouarfa count 15 km and you will find my school easily
if you have a question you want to ask do not hesitate
I WISH YOU A GOOD TRAVEL TO OUR CUONTRY
