THE BEAUTIFUL STORY OF TIZNIT

Tiznit (GPS point: 29.700386, -9.726836) is an old fortified city medina surrounded by a city that is more modern today. The site was originally a group of forts that were surrounded in the 19th century by seven kilometers of walls (8 meters high). This city quickly became a commercial center of Souss Massa and remains today a beautiful stopover between the Anti-Atlas and the Atlantic coast where you will quickly be charmed by the atmosphere of its medina.
