Tiznit: Orientation, Arrival and Transport

The town’s main square is el Mechouar, where the jewellers’ souk is located and most cheap hotels are clustered. Nearby, just outside Beb Mechouar – the main gate to the Medina – is where you’ll find a good number of amenities, including restaurants, banks, the post office and the taxi rank. The more fancier hotels, as well as the campsite, are to be found at the south of the medina.
