About an hour from Tinghir lies the charming city of Tinejdad, where you can enjoy a cultural and artistic experience that blends history and creativity. Here, you’ll meet with a local artist and participate in a workshop focused on Arabic calligraphy, a revered art form that translates to “beautiful writing.”

Arabic calligraphy has held cultural and religious significance for over 2,000 years, especially within Islamic communities. During your workshop, you’ll learn about the origins of calligraphy, its evolution through different empires like the Ottomans, and the various styles practiced today. Using specialized pens and ink, your instructor will guide you in mastering basic techniques before letting you try your hand at writing.

Following the class, you’ll visit the artist’s private museum, where you can browse a unique collection of Berber artifacts and musical instruments. This visit combines artistic expression, historical insight, and hospitality, making it a memorable highlight of your journey through Tinejdad.
