Taroudant
A mud-walled town known as 'Little Marrakech', encircled by seven kilometers of intact rammed-earth walls around the old town and its markets. It is a classic day trip from Agadir.
Taroudant lies in the Souss Valley, about 85 km from Agadir. In the 16th century it was the capital of the Saadian dynasty. Today it preserves about 7.5 km of ochre rammed-earth walls and several gates, and visitors can ride a horse-drawn carriage around the walls. Inside the town are an Arab market and a Berber market, where silverware, leather goods and spices are cheaper than in big cities. The pace is relaxed, and it is often called 'Little Marrakech'. It is best to hire a car or take a bus and set out early, returning the same day.
