Taroudant: with its ramparts as a setting, the city seems a jewel, one of the most beautiful in Morocco. Stroll in the shadow of its walls steeped in history, whose towers have stood for more than five centuries to protect the ancient capital of the Saadian sultans. All day long, the sun strikes these tall stone columns and bathes the city in a light where the gold of its rays competes with the ocher of the walls.
A city of history, rich in a long past, Taroudant is however not one of those museum cities, frozen in a bygone grandeur. Here, the dynamism of modern life combines harmoniously with the heritage of tradition. Its souks are teeming with activity: venture into the middle of these alleys, negotiate with the merchants, above all, on the stalls, discover all the richness of the land and local crafts. Leathers are particularly famous there, as are terracotta trinkets and Amazigh jewelry.
Taroudant has also made a specialty of argan oil production. Meet outside the ramparts, a little away from the city. There, you discover cooperatives and individuals who shell these nuts, press them, extract the essential pith and make whole oils dedicated to your well-being.
The town has all the attractions and Taroudant is also the starting point for many hikes. Located in the middle of the two Atlas ranges, it benefits from a favorable location popular with hikers and backpackers.
Nature and culture, modernity and tradition, Taroudant definitely does not lack attractions! Get lost in its streets, explore its surroundings and paint your stay with all the colors of Morocco.
