Lunch
Not quite as our expectation. Transport & guide ok but visit to Taroudant was disappointing as it concentrated on walk through market & visit to 'gift' shop. Expected to see more of the town walls/ ramparts as this was a feature of the tour description however we had only 1 photo stop & was definitely not at best viewpoint. Tiout lunch was very good however manage your expectation of 'oasis' as this is a made palm groves using reservoir and irrigation channels. Could see Kasbah but did not visit
Your adventure to the charming city of Taroudant and the tranquil oasis of Tiout begins with an early morning pick-up from your hotel or residence. You'll then be whisked away on a scenic drive to Taroudant, often referred to as 'mini Marrakech' due to its similar surrounding ramparts.
Rewind back to the 1960s, when the Saadi dynasty chose Taroudant as their capital before relocating to Marrakech. Unlike Marrakech, today's Taroudant is almost entirely enclosed within its historic rampart walls. The city has gained fame for its local crafts and carpets, offering a taste of Marrakech's atmosphere without the hustle and bustle. En route to Taroudant, you'll have the opportunity to capture a memorable photo of the region's famous 'flying goats', known for their ability to climb argan trees. From there, you'll continue on to explore the old Medina - the ancient heart of Taroudant. Once you've soaked up the history and culture of 'small Marrakech', your journey will take you onwards to Tiout, a welcoming local village located just 30 km from Taroudant. Here, you'll savour a delectable lunch before visiting the oasis of palm trees.
No visit to Tiout would be complete without exploring the kasbah where the. After a day filled with exploration and discovery, you'll return to your hotel around late afternoon.
