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