Tinghir

Between the High Atlas and Jebel Saghro (Anti-Atlas), from its 1300 meters of altitude, Tinghir is a Berber city founded in the middle of a dense and beautiful palm grove in the heart of the Todgha valley. Rock engravings, instruments and burial sites testify to the presence of humans before our era (7000 BC). Located on the caravan route, it has become an important trading post and civilization crossroads in past centuries: Berbers, Arabs, Jews, sub-Saharan people have settled there and lived by cultivating the land, making artisanal products, and trade carried out with caravans passing through the premises.

In Morocco all the roads of the great gate opening to the infinite spaces of the great desert pass through Tinghir. In recent decades, the number of its visitors thirsty for adventure and discovery of wide open spaces is constantly increasing, making this city the first destination for travellers on their way to the vast rocky plateaus of the Regs and the great undulating dunes of the Ergs. In addition to legendary hospitality and a gastronomy composed of succulent regional dishes, Tinghir offers a History and culture predating the times of the caravans and protectorate, a magnificent palm grove with plants imported from the Nile Valley, green oases, its ancient fortified kasbahs, a succession of ochre and clay ksours, its gorges at the hollow of steep cliffs, and unique panoramas bathed in intense light during the day, and, at night, covered in a dark veil illuminated by thousands of stars, like glitter embroidered in the firmament. Thus Tinghir welcomes and charms its visitors.
