Figuig or Figig is an oasis town in eastern Morocco near the Atlas Mountains, on the border with Algeria.
The town is built around an oasis of date palms, surrounded by rugged, mountainous wilderness. Modernization has somewhat raised the standard of living, and drawn much of the town's population away, so that it is now struggling to reach stability. Its population in 2014 was 10,872, down from a peak of 14,571 in 1982.
