Lunch in an inn before taking the road to Taroudant, nicknamed "Little Marrakech". The ramparts of Taroudant stand in the heart of the Souss valley, between the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas.

The visit of one of the most beautiful and ancient villages of the valley will be the highlight of this day. This 16th century village was an important crossroads at the time when large caravans traded between Tafilalet and Timbuktu and controlled the entrance to the Draa Valley. It was also a strategic point because gold from Africa was transformed and minted into currency.

Located in the palm grove, lodges facing the Drâa wadi and the Djebel Kissane. A sumptuous view, a peaceful environment.
