Tazenakht

Market town on the Ouarzazate-Agadir road, famous for Morocco's most distinctive hand-knotted Ait Ouaouzguite tribal carpets and a lively weekly souk

Highlights

Ait Ouaouzguite Carpets: The colourful geometric carpets of the Tazenakht region are made exclusively by women of the Ait Ouaouzguite tribe — each design encodes tribal identity and personal history
Thursday Souk: One of southern Morocco's most authentic rural souks — women arrive from surrounding villages with hand-knotted rugs, saffron and fresh dates
Weaving Cooperative: Visit the women's carpet cooperative where you can see traditional looms in action and buy directly from the weavers at fair prices
