Travel to Taroudant with Heritage Tours Private Travel
Vast ramparts surround this Berber market town that was once the most important trading center south of Marrakech and is still the largest town in the fertile Sousse Valley. Taroudant is a good place to get away from the tourist scene; few of the mass-market busloads make it here.
Taroudant has two souks: an Arab souk, which is especially known for its jewelry and African limestone sculptures, and a Berber market with fresh vegetables and exotic spices. Taroudant is quite a good place for shopping. The prices are generally lower than those in Marrakech, the storeowners more relaxed and it is easy to bargain.
Not far from Taroudant, the oases of Tioute and Freija have nice kasbahs and Tioute now has a little café overlooking the oasis. Perhaps the most unusual site in the area is an adobe synagogue with Hebrew prayers are painted on its earthen walls.
