Review (2024-06-01): Great tour - Adi showed us the region south of Agadir. Picturesque towns, beautiful rivers. We were even able to see flamingos in the wild. I particularly liked the focus on the culture of the region and less on typical souvenir shops.
Echoes of Craftsmanship: Tiznit’s Silver Legacy
The afternoon sun casts long shadows over Tiznit, a town renowned for its silver jewelry craftsmanship. As you step into the ancient medina, the narrow streets and bustling souks invite you to explore their secrets.

Join the Small Sahara Private Day Tour and immerse yourself in the artistry that defines Tiznit. The medina, with its mudbrick fortifications, is a testament to the town’s rich history. Here, artisans craft intricate silver trinkets, their hands guided by generations of knowledge and tradition. The weekly bazaar offers a chance to procure these handmade treasures, each piece a reflection of the town’s cultural heritage.
As you wander through the medina, the scent of spices and the sound of haggling fill the air. The souks, alive with activity, are a sensory feast, offering everything from vibrant textiles to aromatic teas. This is a place where the past and present coexist, each step a journey through time.
Review (2024-09-23): Great service and on time - We arranged a tour to the valley with this group and it was nice. We were picked up and served tea whilst we visited the argan oil place. Everything was explained well.
