Taroudant & Tiout Oasis Day Trip – From Taghazout (260 km)

Embark on a full-day adventure to discover the hidden gems of southern Morocco: the historic city of Taroudant and the lush oasis of Tiout.

Located around 90 km from Taghazout, Taroudant lies in the fertile Souss Valley, framed by the High and Anti-Atlas Mountains. Once the Saadian capital in the 16th century, the city retains its rich heritage with 7.5 km of fortified walls, over 130 towers, and five majestic gates like Bab El Kasbah and Bab El Khemis.

Renowned for its local craftsmanship — leather, ironwork, Berber silver jewelry, pottery, and painted wood — Taroudant is a must-visit for lovers of tradition and Moroccan culture.

The journey continues to the oasis of Tiout, home to over 20,000 date palms. Enjoy a donkey ride through the palm grove and a traditional Berber lunch with local villagers in a stunning natural setting.
