COL DU TIZI N’TEST – High Atlas Discovery <\/h3>\n

Trip from Agadir: 3 hours<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\t\t\t
A HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR STAY<\/div>\n

The Tizi n’Test road is one of the most beautiful mountain roads in Morocco. The Col du Tizi-n-Test (2,092 meters), which crosses the High Atlas, offers a spectacular, southern view over the Souss Massa region. The road connects the city of Marrakech with the N10 road (Agadir-Taroudant – Taliouine). The route offers a view, 2000 meters below on the Souss plain – to the south and, beyond, on the mountain range of the Anti-Atlas. Not crossing the Tizi n’Test is depriving yourself of an unforgettable memory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

How to get there<\/em> :<\/span>
\n<\/span> From Agadir, head in the direction of Taroudant through the Biosphere Reserve of Arganeraie- Souss Valley then head in the direction of Ouled Berhil (30.639872, -8.475556) where the rise of Tizi n’Test starts quickly in the middle of the argan trees and continues along the mountain slopes.<\/span> Pine trees line the road. The route begins to meander near the Toubkal visible often to the northeast.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span> The valleys, all along the Tizi n’Test, give a glimpse of typical villages with their adobe dwellings. As on a mountain road, you have to be focused and careful.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span> After the pass, 30 km away, you will find the Tinmel mosque (12th century). Spiritual home of the founder of the Almohad dynasty, Ibn Tumert, it was considered for a long time as a holy place but can now be visited, if there is no religious ceremony being held.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 4×4 vehicles: Go up the Tizi n’Test pass. After your lunch, the return can be made via routes (30.829525, -8.403268) which will take you through a succession of mountain villages. A great off-road outing from Taroudant. The landscapes are breathtaking!<\/p>\n
