Overview

This is a day for seeing an inland town and slowing down in a palm oasis, rather than covering another stretch of beach. Taroudant brings ramparts and souks; Tiout adds lunch in a kasbah setting and time among the palms. The route also includes an argan-tree stop. If you are deciding between this and Marrakech, compare how you want to spend the day: here the focus is Taroudant and Tiout, rather than a large city's monuments. Check what is included in any optional ride before agreeing to it locally.

Good to know

  • Wear comfortable walking shoes for the souks and ramparts
  • Bring a hat and sunscreen as the Souss Valley can be warm
  • Don't forget your camera for the 'flying goats'!
  • Vegetarian lunch options are available upon request
  • The drive from Agadir takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes
