Tizi n'Tichka

Morocco's highest paved mountain pass at 2260 m, connecting Marrakesh with Ouarzazate through a dramatic landscape of hairpin bends, kasbahs and snow-capped peaks

Highlights

• Pass Summit (2260 m): The top plateau offers sweeping 360° views over the High Atlas — a mandatory stop on any Marrakesh-to-Sahara route
• Taddert and Pass Villages: Traditional Berber villages cling to the valley sides below the pass, selling amethysts, fossils and handwoven blankets along the road
• Detour to Telouet and Aït Benhaddou: The pass road gives access to the Telouet Kasbah piste and the UNESCO ksar of Aït Benhaddou on the southern descent
