access

Tirhmi is on the road between Tiznit and Tafraoute. The site is reached by a track of the main road just on the East side of Tirhmi. Coming from Tiznit, one passes through the town of Tirhmi, and turn left on to a track by a white concrete block by the side of the road. (see photo). It is possible to drive on the track with a two wheel drive car as long as it has reasonable ground clearence and is not too heavily loaded,as the gradient going up the ridge is quite steep in parts. It take about 45 minutes from Tiznit to Tirhmi centre, and then another 20 minutes to drive up the ridge to takeoff.
