Anyone know the Tiz`N`Tichka in Morocco
I`ve just found it using Mapsource & plan to visit next year.
My question is;
Is it the N9 that runs North-South. Or is it the "Road" that runs East-West to Telouet??
Many thanks.

The N9 runs from Marrakesh to Ouarzazate, and includes the Tiz N Ticha pass.
Personally, if you are only going for the view, I think the Tiz N Test pass, which heads south west from Marrakesh is actually a more scenic and interesting road. it has less traffic, but the road was not in as good condition as Tiz N Ticha.
cheers

Tizi is Tamazight (Berber) for col.
Hotel Riad Hida, Maroc is a lovely hotel south of the Test pass at Ouled Berhill

I am three-quarters through the continent and found the Tizi-n-Tichka the scariest experience in all of Africa. Many of the local drivers are absolutely mad - and quite a number of them dead 1000m below.
It's really a lottery ...
