THE WAY UP
Blue steps, white walls
Moonlight hides in the old part of the village, at the top of a flight of blue steps. Two minutes down to the beach, five to the cafés, and silence at night.

THE ROOFTOP OVER THE OCEAN · TAGHAZOUT
Moonlight, a guesthouse in old Taghazout above the waves
ⵜⵉⵣⵉⵔⵉTiziri means moonlight in Tamazight.
Taghazout · Breakfast over the waves, the village lights at night.
Up a stairway of blue steps in old Taghazout, Moonlight is calm rooms in soft plaster and a rooftop that hangs over the ocean. Breakfast is laid out with the waves in front of you, and at night the village lights come on below the terrace.
FROM OUTSIDE
The house, from the lane
to the roof.
THE ROOFTOP
Breakfast over the ocean
The terrace sits above the roofs of Taghazout with nothing between it and the Atlantic. Breakfast is set here every morning: msemen, honey, fruit, coffee, and the swell rolling in below.

THE VIEW
Nothing but water
Face the ocean and the village disappears. At night the moon lays a path of light across the water, and that is where the house takes its name: tiziri, ⵜⵉⵣⵉⵔⵉ, moonlight in Tamazight.
