Tiznit: Silver Town
Silver jewellery souks behind old walls — Tiznit is the craft town on the way to Mirleft's beaches.
Silver behind the walls
Tiznit's name is synonymous with silver across Morocco — the jewellery souk gathers Amazigh fibulae, anklets and daggers from workshops across the south, and bargaining here is calmer than in any big city. The walled medina around it is compact, authentic and barely touristed.
The town sits on the road to Mirleft's beaches and pairs with Taroudant for the full Souss pair. Come for the silver, stay for the slow southern rhythm.
Highlights
- Silver souk — Amazigh jewellery from southern workshops.
- Medina walls — the old rampart circuit.
- Grand Mosque quarter — the town's historic heart.
- Craft workshops — metalwork and woodwork lanes.
- Beach road — Mirleft's coves a short drive west.

How to get there
Tiznit sits south of Agadir on the Souss plain, served by buses and grand taxis from Agadir and Taroudant. With Abrid, it folds into a southern coastal loop with private transport.
How long to stay
We recommend half a day for the silver souk and medina, or one night paired with Mirleft's beaches.
