A cultural journey into Morocco’s southern heritage – 190 km round trip
Embark on a half-day discovery tour to Taroudant, a historic town located 76 km from Agadir, surrounded by the scenic landscapes of the High and Anti-Atlas mountains. Once the capital of the Saadian dynasty in the 16th century, Taroudant is enclosed within impressive city walls stretching over 7.5 km, with 130 towers and five iconic gates: Bab El Kasbah, Bab Zorgan, Bab Targhount, Bab Oulad Bounouna, and Bab El Khemis.
Taroudant is renowned for its traditional crafts – leatherwork, pottery, silver Berber jewelry, and beautifully carved wood. Its bustling souks and tranquil charm give it the nickname "Little Marrakech", without the crowds.
