📍📍Tizi-n-Tichka📍📍 👉Higher than Tizi n’Test to the west but an easier drive along the N9, the Tizi n’Tichka (2260m) connects Marrakesh with the southern oases. It was built to bypass the old caravan route to the Draa, which meandered through the Ounilla Valley and was controlled throughout the 19th century by the powerful Glaoui clan. The name of the step comes from joining several words in Tamazight (ⵜ ⵉ ⵣ ⵉ ⵏ ⵜ ⵉ ⵛ ⴽ ⴰ) and means “difficult mountain pass”. They link the south-east of Marrakech with the city of Ouarzazate through the Atlas Mountains. It’s the road to the Sahara Desert gate. 👉This road does not only take you to your destination but has views and sights one has to experience to believe. The road was constructed in 1936 by the French and links the great city of Marrakech to Ouarzazate. It takes travellers on a journey of adventure, beauty and breathtaking views, allowing visitors to experience a historical and spectacular part of the country. Locals met along the way make the expedition even more spectacular. travellers will come across a variety of villages, such as Taddert and Tamhuememt, along the way. Walnut groves and crystal mountain streams, along with rows of oak trees are found here. 🔶🔶🔶⛰⛰🔶🔶🔶 👇👇INSTAGRAM 👇👇 @moroccofriendlytravel #marruecos #enhance #passionpassport #psd #colors #sonyalpha #amazingplaces #viajosola #discovery #couchsurfing #zagoura #editing #moroccotravel #africa #morroco #voyage #mochilera #viajera #visitmorocco #roadtrip #ouarzazate #atlas #aitbenhaddou
