Lixus is located on the bank of the Loukkos River north of the modern seaport of
Larache and famous for its ruins of Roman imperial outpost. Most of the ruins
are still unexcavated. It is located on the Tchemmich hill 80 meters from the
north bank of the river.
This city is famous for salt, garum and fish processing. Unfortunately this place ignored has led to the slow destruction of ruins. There is almost no check on who can come here and you can even find shepherd take their herd grazing their goats through these ruins. Lixus (Morocco) was settled by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC . Town was small in size but does have a nice bath, temples and walls. The mosaics remain largely intact although a few of them did get damaged. There is a Christian basilica at the center of Lixis.
