Get to know Morocco’s countryside and explore the Berber town of Tafraout on this full-day tour. Travel through Ameln Valley, take in panoramic views from Kerdous Peak, meet locals, find ancient traditions, and enjoy an authentic Moroccan lunch—all in 1 day!
Start your tour with a scenic drive: Wind through narrow, snakelike roads and pass through Ameln Valley. Make sure you see the plush almond groves and the colorful boulders contrasting with the sharp green of the palm-tree oasis.
As you arrive at Tafraout—located high up in a rocky Anti-Atlas amphitheater—discover mini-mansions and boulders that surround the village and extend through the entire Ameln Valley. See brightly painted houses, familiarize yourself with the day-to-day life of the friendly Berbers, and explore the weekly Tuesday market.
Enjoy lunch in picturesque surroundings set against the backdrop of the Jebel el Kest’s rock face before ascending to Kerdous Peak. Marvel at the far-reaching views of rich plantations and steep hills, 3,609 feet (1,100 m) above sea level.
Continue to the silver capital, Tiznit, which has cultivated a glowing reputation for its silver jewelry and friendly residents. See the ancient ramparts and enjoy some free time wandering the old medina—why not buy some Berber jewelry as a memorable souvenir!
