Tiznit

Overview

Tiznit is a pretty town with ochre walls around the city center.

The market is nice (the buses stop on the square opposite the market), there is an old spring you can visit, and a mosque more characteristic of sub-Saharan Africa. The people are very friendly and the town is pretty relaxed. There is a new plastics factory on the outskirts, and much other new industry.  Many people have solar heating, and most people have satellite dishes.

It is a stop on your way south from Agadir on to Tafraoute , to Aglou Plage or Sidi Ifni, or to Guillimine, or further south to the West-Sahara.
