Itinerary for 6 DAY FROM MARRAKECH TO ESSAOUIRA VIA TAROUDANT:

Day 1: Marrakech - Taroudant via Tizi Ntast:

Long trips from Marrakech allow you to familiarize yourself with Berber village life as you make your way to a Berber family’s home in the High Atlas Mountains. So on the first day we left the bustling city of Marrakech towards Taroudant through the TizintTast mountains. The trip actually begins as soon as we pass the city of Tahanaout (32 km). Take the road to the green landscapes of Asni Wurgan, passing through the valley of Nafis where the old Kasbah is located, and you will reach the Tizi N Taste pass (2092 meters). This traditional crossing point was controlled by the Berber tribes because of the kasbah they built until the turn of the century. This is the opportunity to discover the varied and fascinating panoramas of the High Atlas with its terraced terrestrial villages and its cultures. Passing through Ouirgane, the road becomes more winding and exciting. The Ouirgane dam gives way to OuedN’Fis, which has been digging for thousands of years in an impressive canyon. Arrive at Taroudant with its walls rising in the middle of the Sous valley to discover its nine gates. In a subtle and charming setting, Medina seems to have changed very little since the time of the conquerors. What is exceptional is that above this quiet town float the memories of a prosperous past, first the monotheists, then the Marini and the Saadi, then the Portuguese and the French. Do not forget to enter the Berber markets and discover the treasures hidden in the small stalls facing the streets of the medina. Spending the night there allows you to quickly change gears, see space-time, and give you a promising glimpse into your journey.

Day 2: Taroudant - Tafraout.

After my delicious early morning breakfast, we headed to Tafraout on the second day of our trip. From Taroudant to Tafraout, the landscapes compete with colorful marvels. As Tafraout approaches, the mountains rise. Above our heads, the rocks are tinged with pink, a color that goes well with the blush green of the springtime tufts of grass lining the ground. Located at the foot of the Atlas Mountains at 1,200 meters above sea level, Tafraout (“Small Basin”) owes its name to the circular panorama which opens into a bowl in the shape of a valley. The architectural curiosity of this region is that it has a high concentration of Agadir or collective barns. Once you arrive you will realize that Tafraut is worth it. You can discover the desserts of their precious oils, including their famous casserole with almonds and peaches, and the sparkling peaks offer impressive views at sunset.

Then, gradually, the twists and turns separate. Mountains full of wild argan trees and lavender give way to a vast desert plain. The suburbs of Tiznit are not very attractive. However, once through the magnificent fort that protects the city, the charm of the ancient Moroccan cities works, as we will have lunch and then continue our journey. Finally, like a mirage, Mirleft, a picturesque seaside town, appears at the end of the straight line. There will likely be an afternoon coffee or tea, a social event that touches the warm hospitality of the Berber fishermen in the village. The old Spanish fort overlooks Mirleft.
