Ida Ougnidif commune

It is composed of 65 villages or douars. It has a sedentary population of 3,151 people, plus approximately 5,000 people of local origin spread across other cities in the country.

It covers the historical territory of the Idaougnidif tribe, neighbouring the Illalen tribes to the west, the Aït Abdellah to the north, the Aït Toufaout to the east, and the Aït Souab to the south as one climbs higher towards the mountain (Adrar).

It includes a part of the mountainous territory known as "Jbel Lekst", famous for its highest point called "Afa N'Timzgadiouine" (Pass of the Mosques), which is one of the highest in the Anti-Atlas at over 2,300 metres above sea level.

Idaougnidif is particularly known for its centuries-old granaries, the Igoudars (plural of Agadir), such as those of Sidi Yaacoub, Imhilen and Guemzt; and the Kasbah of Tizourgane, which is classified as a national heritage site.

Ida Ougnidif is also known for the annual Moussem of the patron saint of the Ida Ougnidifs, Sidi Messaoud Afoullous, which is held at the beginning of October each year. He is one of the sharifs descended from Sidi Messaoud Ou Brahim, whose tomb is in Azgour, Toudma. These are chorfas who fled the city of Fez—the capital of the kingdom founded by Moulay Idris during the 8th century—during the persecution of the Idrissids by Moussa ben Abi El Afiya.
