Tichka Mountain Pass

Crossing the High Atlas between Marrakech and Ouarzazate, Tichka Mountain Pass is one of Morocco’s most spectacular mountain routes, where winding roads, dramatic elevations, and ever-changing views turn the journey itself into a highlight. Known as Tizi n’Tichka, the pass rises to over 2,200 metres and links the plains around Marrakech with the landscapes of Morocco’s desert south, making it one of the country’s most scenic and memorable crossings. More than a mountain road, Tichka Mountain Pass is often the moment when travellers feel the scale of Morocco open up before them. It marks the transition between imperial cities, Berber highlands, and the gateway to the Sahara, giving the route both scenic and symbolic appeal. For those travelling through the Atlas, Tichka remains an unforgettable passage, defined by altitude, landscape, and the thrill of the open road.
