Lake Tislit is a lake located in Morocco's Haut Atlas Oriental National Park, in the administrative division of Imilchil. This is an "agdal" (from Tamazight: good grazing) where tribes Aït Haddidou lead their flocks during the summer.
Every year in September, a significant moussem (annual regional festival) is held by the lake.
