Taroudant

This walkable market city in southwestern Morocco's Sous region, Taroudant sits inland from Agadir on the road toward Ouarzazate, with a centre full of cafés and restaurants and a less tourist-saturated atmosphere than Marrakech. One of Morocco's older cities, it serves as the provincial capital and draws independent travellers to its medina and souks. Mountains are close by, and the city has a Wikivoyage entry reflecting steady traveller interest.
