Overview

Tizgui is an alternative for travellers who would like a valley outing with a longer pause in the landscape. The route includes Alma on the Honey Road and a mountain viewpoint before the approach on foot. The plan then allows about two and a half hours around the pools for relaxing and, where conditions permit, swimming. Choose it with the terrain in mind rather than expecting a resort pool with guaranteed facilities. Pack what you will need for the stop and check the walking conditions if anyone in your group needs an easier approach.

Magical mountain experience

As a solo traveler, I felt completely at ease on this tour. The hike through the palm groves and canyons was invigorating, and the natural pools were like something out of a dream. I loved the panoramic views and the peaceful atmosphere of Tizgui Valley. The guide was engaging and shared fascinating insights into Berber culture. A truly magical experience in the Atlas Mountains.
