RN7Asni to Taroudant
One of the most spectacular and intimidating mountain roads in North Africa, scaling the western High Atlas to a 2,093 m summit via sheer unbarriered drops, past the 12th-century Tin Mal Mosque.
From Asni the road climbs the olive-terraced Nfiss valley past the dramatic Tin Mal Mosque. The next stretch earns its reputation: a sinuous single-track carved into cliffs with no barriers above a 400–500 m void, demanding low speed and pulling in to pass. The summit at 2,093 m overlooks both the Anti-Atlas and the Souss Valley before a 1,600 m descent into the citrus groves around Taroudant.
