Tafraout, town in Souss-Massa, Morocco
Description
Tafraout is a small town in Tiznit Province, Morocco, nestled within striking rock formations of the Anti-Atlas mountains. The town features closely packed houses built from local stone, narrow streets connecting different neighborhoods, and colorful murals painted on many building facades.
History
The town grew as a trading post along the route between the coast and inland regions, where caravans stopped to exchange goods. Its architecture and street layout still reflect this long history as a commercial hub.
Practical
The best time to visit is from October to April, when temperatures are milder and the sun is less intense. Comfortable shoes are important since the streets are narrow and uneven with many elevation changes throughout the town.
Did you know?
The colorful wall paintings that began appearing in the 1980s transform the stone facades into a vibrant artistic display and make the town visually striking. This project started as a way to make the place more lively and welcoming.
