Tighmert

Welcome to Tighmert

Easily reached from Goulimime, the oasis of Tighmert provides a relaxing opportunity to experience traditional Berber culture.

Sights

Tighmert oasis makes a scenic drive from Goulimime, with views of the distant Anti Atlas. You can drive a circuit of this palmeraie(palm grove) in an hour or two on Rte d'Asrir, returning to town along the Goulimime–Assa road.

There are a few basic guesthouses in the oasis, mostly located some 20km southeast of Goulimime off Rte d’Asrir. Maison d’Hôtes Nomades is a family-run guesthouse deep in the oasis (there are some tight corners on the drive there), with rugs and farming implements decorating the pisé walls and simple rooms with shared or private bathroom. Accommodation is also available in a Berber tent (Dh60 per person) and dinner features dishes such as dromedary tajine. Camel rides and other activities are offered, but you may prefer to just lounge on the roof terrace taking in the views.

Accessed from the N12 between Goulimime and Tata (or along back roads from the Anti Atlas), the oasis village of Id-Âïssa, also known as Amtoudi, after the gorge it occupies, has walking trails to two agadirs, a waterfall and cave paintings. One of the agadirs is particularly impressive, towering above the village on a spindly outcrop. In the second half of September, a festival and fantasia(musket-firing cavalry charge) takes place in the nearby village of Âït Herbil, also known for its rock engravings.

Id-Âïssa is 30km from the N12, signposted from near the village of Taghjicht. To get there by grand taxi from Goulimime, you will likely have to change in Bouizakarne and Souk Tnine-Nouadai. A shared/private taxi from Bouizakarne costs about Dh35/210. From Tata, pick up a ride to Goulimime or Bouizakarne and alight in Taghjicht, from where a private taxi costs Dh120.

On the other side of Goulimime, French resort Fort Bou-Jerifoffers a taste of the desert, 40km northwest of town via the Sidi Ifni and Plage Blanche roads (it’s well signposted).

Eating

Most visitors staying at either Maison d’Hôtes Nomades in Tighmert or at Fort Bou-Jerif stay on a half-board basis.
