Tizi n'Test Pass Road: Asni to Taroudant
The R203 crosses the western High Atlas from the Asni valley to the Souss plain over the Tizi n'Test. North of the pass it follows the N'Fis valley past Ouirgane and Ijoukak, near the Tin Mal mosque; the southern descent is a long run of narrow hairpins towards Taroudant. The north side was badly hit by the September 2023 earthquake and roadworks have continued since.
