Driving through Tizi n'Tichka is an unforgettable experience - I have literaly done this road more than 100 times. This mountain pass, one of the highest in North Africa, offers stunning views of the Atlas Mountains. The winding road, with its dramatic curves and breathtaking scenery, makes the journey both thrilling and beautiful.
The views from Tizi n'Tichka are simply amazing. You can see vast landscapes of mountains, valleys, and traditional Berber villages. It's a great place to stop and take photos, as the scenery is incredibly photogenic.
However, it's worth noting that the shop owners along the pass can be a bit pushy. If you let them intimidate you, it might detract from your experience and make you rush during your photo moments. They will often approach you, but a simple "hi" and not paying them too much mind usually does the trick.
Along the way, there are several spots where you can pull over to admire the view and even grab a snack from local vendors. The air is crisp and fresh, adding to the overall experience.

The pass itself is not so interesting, but after the pass there is the old road P1506 going through beautiful old Arab villages, where you can take many nice photos.
Next attractions are the Ancient Salt Mine and further: Tourassine Old Kasbah.
Beautiful roads with views like in Nevada.
I recommend renting a car and driving this route: Marrakesh – Tizi’n Tichka – Ancient Salt Mine – Tourassine Old Kasbah – Aït Benhaddou – Ighrem N’Ougdal – Marrakesh.
Stop for a while, talk with the locals… even if they don’t understand what you say… it is still a...

If you are driving yourself, anywhere in Morroco, be careful and if you are not a confident driver, then don't. The pass is at the top of a difficult climb up, and then down into the desert. Be careful not to get caught out by the Police speed traps.
The views of the High Atlas are, however, spectacular. Toubkal, the highest peak, is not much lower than Mont Blanc but not snow covered all year round. There is a ski...
