ACTUALLY, there's not a lot to do in Taroudannt beyond soaking up the atmosphere. There are two markets - one selling the usual tourist knick-knacks and the other a Berber market with pots, pans and piles of brightly-coloured spices. The city lies on the Sousse plain, which makes it ideal for cycling (bikes can be hired from two shops in the main square). One popular route is a circuit around the city walls - or you can visit outlying villages such as Tiout. |

Grandmother of Marrakesh
Taroudannt is called the "Grandmother of Marrakesh" because it is a scaled down, slowed down town that resembles Marrakesh with its surrounding ramparts.But unlike Marrakesh, Taroudannt contains almost the whole city within its walls.- Hip Guide to Morocco
Where the French didn't leave their mark...
Taroudannt is one of the places least touched by the French, without being a remote village. The ancient wall around it, is splendid. - LexicOrient
