Tizi n'Test

Morocco's most spectacular mountain road — a narrow single-track pass at 2092 m connecting Marrakesh with Taroudant, with the 12th-century Tin Mal mosque hidden in the valley below

Highlights

• Tin Mal Mosque: A magnificent 12th-century Almohad mosque hidden in the mountains — one of only two mosques in Morocco open to non-Muslims, in eerie, peaceful isolation
• Views from the Pass: At 2092 m the road offers sheer 1000 m drops on both sides — perhaps the most dizzying and beautiful mountain road in Morocco
• Ijoukak Valley: The approach from the north winds through the Nfis River gorge past Berber villages and argan forests — far fewer tourists than Tizi n'Tichka
