Taroudant has distinctive appearance, surrounded by crenulated

once the capital of the Souss region, a large plain bathed in
sunlight gilding the hillsides and enriching the earth. The
carved stones, Berber jewels and old weapons are much appreciated

by picturesque markets, lend the city an enchanting air for
the tourist. Just after the visit, departure to Tiout where

the way you will discover the famous village Ait Benhaddou which
is 30 kilometres far from Ouarzazate. Just imagine a fabulous
sand castle transported, as if by magic, to stand in the middle
of a field of flowering amond trees. So beautiful and playing
so artfully with the light that it has often been used as a
setting for films such as "Lawrence of Arabia" and
"The Diamond of the Nil", "The Bible", "Sodom
& Gomorrh ", "The Mummy" and "The Gladiators".
