Nicknamed “Little Marrakech” for its impressive red-mud walls, lively markets, and vibrant atmosphere, Taroudant is a hidden gem rich in history and charm. This full-day excursion from Agadir (Hotel or Port pickup) begins with a scenic drive to the ancient city, nestled in a fertile valley surrounded by the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas Mountains. Stroll along its majestic ramparts and through one of its nine historic gates, then dive into the heart of the medina, where narrow alleys lead you to a bustling craft bazaar known for silver Berber jewelry, traditional rugs, and handmade goods—a true haven for lovers of authentic Moroccan craftsmanship.

The adventure continues 30 km southeast to Tiout, a peaceful Berber village at the foot of the mountains. Here, you'll visit the ruins of a historic kasbah, now a charming restaurant perched on a rocky hilltop overlooking vast palm groves that echo the landscapes of Marrakech. From this panoramic viewpoint, take in sweeping views of the Souss Valley and the Atlas Mountains, and learn a fascinating piece of film history—Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves, starring Fernandel, was filmed right in this palm grove in 1954.

On your return journey to Agadir, pass through several picturesque 16th-century Berber towns, soaking in the timeless beauty of southern Morocco.
