In the surrounding areas of Marrakech and the centre of the country, the nature is absolutely spectacular. Sportsmen and adventurers have the opportunity to really enjoy roaming these beautiful landscapes by foot!

Walks in the centre of Morocco

If there is a place that sums up the incredible diversity and richness of the beautiful country of Morocco, it is certainly the countless markets called souks.  You will dive into the unforgettable atmosphere and you will find everything imaginable and more.

Morocco's incredible souks

Today, Morocco has a worldwide reputation for its numerous cultural and principally musical festivals. It's a great occasion to discover the artistic riches of the country during a trip to Morocco.

Morocco is world famous for its imperial cities. Every day, tourists from the four corners of the earth tour round the incredible palaces and gardens in these unique places. A breath taking visit in the heart of Morocco's history.

Morocco's superb imperial cities

It's without doubt the most touristy town in Morocco, thanks to its amazing souk and the immense Jema El Fna Square.

Salaam alaikoum! When we think of Morocco, it is the buzzing and colourful souks, filled with the scent of exotic spices that spring to mind. We conjure up images of magnificent palaces, lush gardens and white, sandy beaches that stretch far into the horizon. But there is more to Morocco; a depth that goes beyond its beauty and colour. There is its soul, a heart that beats not only in the bazaars but also across its lands, all there for you to discover as you immerse yourself in the daily lives of its people. By meeting these people and by enjoying their hospitality during your stay, you will see Morocco and its inhabitants unveil the hidden treasures that lie at the core of their culture. From its four royal cities to the misty ramparts of Essaouira, from hiking and trekking across the countryside (be it in the foothills of the Atlas Mountains or on a camel’s back in the Sahara), wonders await you, no matter what your choice of holiday may be.

Oh, the magnificent walls of Taroudant which emerge like an oasis in the middle of the desert! With 6km of length, they are very impressive and beautiful with their ochre colour. This ancient citadel has almost 130 towers and turrets which made it impassable for its enemies. The visit of the battlements is particularly interesting. Situated in the Souss valley between the High-Atlas and the Anti-Atlas, the town is penetrated by the Souss river which feeds the valley. All around the town, the region is very fertile and lush. I really like Taroudant and I would recommend to all travellers that they stop by this town during <a href="/morocco/">a stay in Morocco</a>. Don't miss going to walk in the medina and the souk. The lovely Kasbah of Taroudant and its gardens are worth the detour.

Everyone talked about Taroudant's souks during <a href="/morocco/">my holiday in Morocco</a>. It's true that they are very lively. I was even told that they are the liveliest in southern Morocco. I wandered around several souks in Taroudant but I preferred the stone carvers one. They sell their masterpieces in the labyrinth of little lanes in the centre of town. And if you like the atmosphere then you can visit the Berber market, only a few metres from there. Its the biggest daily market where you'll find not only food but also cheap clothing (and not just djellabas!) and even china. But the must have are the famous Moroccan spices. Ask the grocer for some ras el-hanout: a mixture of as many as forty powdered spices (cumin, paprika, saffron...) But be careful of the cost, ras el-hanout has a high price.

Once the capital of Sous, Taroudant, which is the door to the Anti-Atlas and High Atlas Mountains, reigns over the immense fertile plain in the Sous valley.
