Travel notes for Mirleft

From Wikivoyage

Mirleft (Arabic: ميراللفت and Berber: ⵎⵉⵔⵍⴼⵜ) is in Anti Atlas, about 30 minutes south of Tiznit.

Understand+

Mirleft is a very small village that has been visited by hippies since the 1970s. Nowadays, most income is generated by tourism. In peak season, the city is run over by tourists, and finding affordable accommodation can be challenging. Peak seasons are from Christmas until mid-January for European tourists and July/August for Moroccans.

Two positive side effects for tourists:

in almost every hotel, restaurant and cafes, at least basic English is spoken

prices in low season (around November and May) are very low

Get in+

By bus:

Two local lines connect Tiznit and Sidi Ifni once every hour, with several stops in Mirleft: One on the coastal route through Aglou, the other on the mountain route.

National lines: Mirleft is on the bus route from Agadir south to Western Sahara for buses that have a stop in Sidi Ifni - but buses don't stop in Mirleft unless you ask the driver to be let off there. One usually has to pay for a ticket to Sidi Ifni. (Make sure you ask before your luggage is stowed away so they can place it in a way that retrieving it does not require unloading more luggage. Also be present when stowing, so you know where it is exactly and point the driver to it.)

By car:

From the north, follow the road to Sidi Ifni, Mirleft is about half an hour north of Sidi Ifni.

From the south, follow the road to Sidi Ifni and from there to Tiznit. Mirleft is just in between those two towns.

By taxi:

Grand taxis go from:

Agadir Airport for 700 dirham for the whole taxi

Agadir Taxi Station to Tiznit for 35 dirham per seat, then on for 15 dirham from the same taxi station in Tiznit.

Sidi Ifni for 13 dirham per seat

Tiznit for 15 dirham per seat
