Excursion to Tiout And Taroudant

The ancient red-walled city of Taroudant is sometimes called "Little Marrakech," but that description doesn't do it justice. Hidden by magnificent red mud walls and the snow-capped peaks of the High Atlas beyond, Taroudant's souk and squares have a mystical atmosphere. It's also a practical place and market town where Berbers trade the produce of the fertile Oued Souss plain. There are no must-see sites. Instead, the medina is a place to wander and linger. Both souks are well worth a visit, more relaxed than Marrakech, but with an atmosphere of activity that is absent in Agadir. With the Western Lesser Atlas explored, the Anti Atlas, and the coast nearby, the city is a good base for trekking and activities. Just 65 km inland from Al-Massira Airport, it is a more atmospheric gathering point to/from the airport than Agadir.
