Taroudant

The fortified city of Taroudant extends along 8 kilometers of red-earth ramparts, containing two central squares with traditional markets and nine entrance gates.

The Saadi dynasty utilized Taroudant as their capital in the 16th century, constructing defensive walls that remain intact and define the city's perimeter today.

The weekly souk outside the city walls brings together merchants selling local handicrafts, agricultural products, and traditional Moroccan goods to residents and visitors.

Located 240 meters above sea level between Agadir and Ouarzazate, Taroudant connects to major Moroccan cities through regional roads and transportation networks.

The city maintains traditional leather tanneries where craftsmen process hides using methods that have remained unchanged for centuries in open-air workshops.
