The charming walled town of Tiznit located close to the Atlantic coast in the Souss Valley area, is renowned for its proud Amazigh (Berber) heritage, exquisite traditional silver jewellery, and an intriguing old mosque minaret with projecting wood pylons in the upper section.  An important water source for nomads who first settled in the area, during the late 19^th century the town flourished as a military base for Sultan Hassan I.    

Tiznit lies within reach of Agadir, Taroudant and Tafraoute and the Anti-Atlas Mountains.
