Tinghir.
You smell woodsmoke, damp river mud, and baking flatbread the minute you step out off the N10 highway. Tinghir sits between the High Atlas and the Jbel Saghro, fed by the cold Todgha river. The town unravels into a dense ribbon of date palms and crumbling earthen ksour like Glaoui and Asfalou. Walk the irrigation canals in late afternoon when the shadows stretch and women carry bundled alfalfa home from the fields.
