Hotels in Taroudant

Taroudant is a Moroccan city located in the Sous Valley in the southern part of the country. It is situated east from Agadir on the road to Ouarzazate  and south  from Marrakech. It can be easily visited as a day trip from Agadir en route to the Sahara Desert. It has the feel of a small fortified market town on some caravan route. It is also known for its local crafts like jewelry and carpets.It is called the "Grandmother of Marrakech" because it is a scaled down, slowed down town that resembles Marrakech with its surrounding ramparts. Unlike Marrakech, Taroudant contains almost the whole city within its walls.Recently, however, a new area is being developed outside the city walls around the huge campus of a faculty of the Ibn Zohr university of Agadir.
