Tazzarine, at the heart of the Aït Atta lands, is a small, somewhat dilapidated town of around 6,000 people, not that special in itself, but this is where we are, and we love it. You enter the town through a palm grove, still very beautiful in spite of the years of drought, and pass small henna fields, separated by irrigation canals.
The village is quite extended, with several old dwars, still inhabited, with houses with thick adobe walls to keep out the heat.

There is also a marabout, the tomb of a Muslim holy man, whose festival (moussem) is in March, and a second marabout, older.

Near Tazzarine, you can find wonderful petroglyphs (stone carvings), more than ten thousand years old, a site with a lot of fossils, 18 km away, and the site of Im’n Oudraz, in the direction of N’Kob.
Beyond the nearby Timganine village starts the wonderful Guir Hamada.

There is a novel set in Tazzarine, “Le Mariage Berbère” by Simone Jacquemard. Not translated into English, it is the story of an encounter between a European woman and a young Berber, in this Deep South we love so much.

Several views of the village : in the market, the fountain, an inner yard in a house... and rock carvings in Aït Ouazick.
