The precarious highway hugging the Atlas Mountains
Tizi-n-Test Pass
T
HE HIGH-ALTITUDE TIZI-N-TEST PASS
, the westerly of the two great passes
over the Atlas Mountains, is cautiously navigated by the R203 highway to
Taroudant. Although the distance between the two cities is only 223 km (138
miles), the road's tortuous hairpins demand such respect from drivers that
the journey takes nearly five hours. Not to mention the time needed to stop
off at the many sights along the way. If you don't have your own vehicle or
grand taxi
, you can make the trip by public transport: buses depart Marrakech
early each morning, taking up to eight hours to reach Taroudant.
