In the Anti-Atlas Mountains, the Amazigh (Berber) tribes built numerous collective granaries, the igoudars (or agadir in the singular). These majestic fortresses bear witness to the wealth of this ancestral civilization.
Essaouira
Also known as "Mogador," the city of Essaouira is a beautiful fortified city encircled by a wall. It is also called the city of the wind, thanks to the trade winds, which have made it the windsurfing capital of Morocco. In the medina, fishermen, woodworkers, and numerous artists mingle.
Imouzzer Ida Ou Tanane
Immouzzer is located in the territory of the Ida Ou Tanane tribes, in the Western High Atlas, at an altitude of 1200 m. This land is known for the lushness of its many mountain oases and in particular the Valley of Paradise with its palm trees and oleanders.
Marrakech
The pink city of Marrakech was founded in 1070 and has since been home to many civilizations and dynasties, each of which has left behind numerous monuments: palaces, mosques... Jemaa Al Fna square and the souks are a must-see when exploring the medina of Marrakech.
Mass
Souss Massa National Park is a nesting site for bald ibises and various migratory birds (more than 230 species). It also has a wildlife reserve with gazelles, antelopes, ostriches, and other animals.
Tafraout
Tafraout begins in the Ameln Valley and at the foot of Jbel Lkest mountain (2360 m altitude). A little further on, beautiful ochre villages clinging to the mountainside create a unique landscape with extravagantly shaped rocks. The Ait Mansour Valley, with its canyon and palm grove, is also a must-see.
Taghazout
Taghazout is a small fishing and surfing village north of Agadir. With the fish auction, the village comes alive and offers the opportunity to discover another side of Morocco.
Taroudant
The medina of Taroudant is also called "little Marrakech". It is surrounded by several kilometers of earthen ramparts and has a timeless charm with the High Atlas mountains in the background.
If you enter the city, you can either opt for a horse-drawn carriage ride or take the opportunity to stroll through the "Rudanais" souks.
Tiznit
The city of Tiznit is the silver capital. Numerous artisans meticulously craft precious jewelry. Near Tiznit lies Aglou beach, home to troglodyte dwellings used by fishermen.
