Additional Information

Taroudant appears to have been crafted for visual delight. The city’s origins predate Islam, but it flourished in the 16th century under the Saadians, who deemed it their capital and named it Mohamédia. Its 8 km of earthen walls stand today as valiant relics from historical conflicts. Entering the medina through one of the five grand gates is akin to a temporal voyage.

The initially perplexing maze of streets and alleyways is actually a product of meticulous planning. At the heart lies the mosque, circled by the souk where master craftsmen ply their trades. The souk sections are orderly divided, aligning with the hierarchy of craftmanship value. Domestic architecture conceals private life from public view with homes designed around a central courtyard. In essence, Taroudant exudes a profound tranquility.

8 of us did a wonderful tour out to... - <p>8 of us did a wonderful tour out to this historic site. It was extremely hot that day but Mohamed make sure we had shade here and there. We went to a Berber village and had the most delightful lunch . We were not expecting this and we were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful the food tasted. Our host for the meal wanted to show us and oasis and off we went to see that and that was very nice as well. We would recommend this tour Highly. Believe it or not we even got to see the goats up in the trees eating the leaves off the argon tree. We thought this was a joke when our guide showed us the trees on our way for the tour. Well we did see it and all eight of us thoroughly enjoyed our God and our time in Morocco</p>
