Agadir Day Trips To Taroudant with Lunch

Taroudant, often called the "Grandmother of Marrakech," lies in the heart of a lush, fertile valley surrounded by the majestic High Atlas Mountains. Just 30 km southeast, perched above the charming village of Tiout, you'll find the ruins of an ancient kasbah—now transformed into a scenic tourist restaurant. From this rocky outcrop, visitors are treated to stunning panoramic views over the Souss Valley and the Atlas peaks. The palm grove of Tiout, with its serene beauty, once served as the filming location for the 1954 classic Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves starring Fernandel, adding a cinematic layer to its rich cultural history.

Taroudant itself is a delightful Berber town full of character, vibrant souks, and mud-brick ramparts that echo its storied past. As you travel the road between Taroudant and Agadir, you’ll encounter age-old village granaries—known as “agadir”—dating back to the 16th century. These traditional structures are both architectural marvels and cultural treasures, offering a glimpse into Morocco’s rural heritage. They are must-visit sites, best explored before time erases their historical imprint.
