Tazerwalt (Arabic: تزروالت, Tachelhit: ⵜⴰⵥⵔⵡⴰⵍⵜ; also spelled Tazeroualt) is a historical region located in the south of Morocco, from which an independent state arose in the 17th century.[1] Governed from its capital of Iligh in the Anti-Atlas mountains, the state of Tazerwalt at its height extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Tuat region in modern-day Algeria, controlling commerce across much of the Sahara.[2]
