Tourist Development of the Ait Jerrar Menara
The Ait Jerrar Menara, located in the Commune of Reggada in the Province of Tiznit, lies approximately 20 km southeast of Tiznit city. Often referred to as the twin of Marrakech’s Menara, the “Reggada Basin” was constructed under Caïd Ayad Ben Mohamed (1914–1938).
