Cultural And Thematic Visits To Tiout Taroudant
Starts in Agadir, Agadir, Morocco
Departure from the hotel at 8:00 am towards Taroudant. On the road, we stop for a moment to admire the goats climbing the argan trees to the top. Along the road, we will have the opportunity to see the orangeries. Taroudant is a Berber city, formerly the capital of the Saadian dynasty before Marrakech. Taroudant is located in the plain of Souss and is exactly 80 km from Agadir. Once in Taroudant, we visit the Berber Souk to discover the activities of local artisans. We continue to discover, also, the city and its ramparts of 8 km and the old Salam Palace of the Sultan built in the 16th century. Then we go to the village of Tiout for lunch with a local. Lunch will consist of Tajine, Moroccan couscous, seasonal fruits, and a very tasty mint tea. After lunch, we leave, on foot or on the back of donkeys, for a hike to discover a palm grove sheltering more than twenty thousand date palms. We also visit the Kasbah of Tiout where part of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves was filmed, directed by Fenandel in 1954. At the end of the excursion, we return to Agadir by another route to enjoy seeing another landscape.
Return to the hotel around 5:00 p.m.
