My friend and I have been to Taroudant several times and we really enjoy embracing it. We enjoyed Taroudant, as we had just travelled from Marrakech which was very busy. We enjoyed our time, as we relaxed and then got a horse and carriage around Taroudant which we really enjoyed.
We will remember our trip to Taroudant for many years to come.

We loved Taroudant, particularly the people who are so friendly! The wall surrounding the city is most impressive! I was expecting an older city however it all seems quite modern, to my eyes anyway. There are plenty of places to eat, just be aware that it is a predominantly alcohol free area, with only a couple of the more expensive places on the outskirts of the city selling wine etc. Unfortunately the local Berber souk had a big fire on our first day there so it was closed. The artisan souk was fab however you do have a bit of hassle at times but not excessive. It sold everything from leather work to jewellery, clothing, spices, and a lot of antique bits. Bartering is expected and necessary as a lot of prices, which you have to ask, are inflated so do your homework first if you want to buy anything.
We took an hours horse and carriage ride around the city which was well worth it. Check the horses carefully first though as some are better cared for than others. Taroudant is more of a stopover place than a holiday destination and could probably be covered in two full days. That said we were there for four days and had a wonderful relaxing time, mostly sitting in the square, sipping fresh mint tea and watching the world go by.

Interesting town with souks and a historical setting where Ali Baba the original film was shot .
A local man attached himself to us and ended up giving an informal guided tour. The restaurant we had a lunch was tasty and not expensive. We missed a horse candle cart tour offered at our hotel which would have been better use of our time and visit.

Excellent place to see the real Morocco!
Excellent place to see the real Morocco! Not that crowded like Marrakesh, but full of local flavour. Delicious street food. Fascinating culture. Extremely friendly people. I've been here five times and I'll be back for more :-)

Taroudant is one of the most beautiful towns in Morocco.
Taroudant is one of the most beautiful towns in Morocco. Also we visited the Palais Claudio Bravo palace 13 km north of Taroudant. Home of chilean hyperrealist artist Claudio Bravo which since his death, his home has become a hotel and museum where you can book tours. I found it difficult to find any info on it prior to our trip and thought it may have closed down so I was delighted when the hotel staff said it was open and arranged for us to have a tour. This was a highlight of our trip.
