Taroudant is a Berber city, formerly the capital of the Saadian dynasty before Marrakech. Once in Taroudant, we visit the Berber Souk to discover the activities of local artisans. We continue to discover, too, the city and its 8 km ramparts. Then we go to the village of Tiout for lunch with a local. After lunch, we leave, on foot or on the back of donkeys, for a hike to discover a palm grove sheltering more than twenty thousand date palms. We also visit the Kasbah of Tiout where part of Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves was filmed, directed by Fenandel in 1954.
