Sunday Morning Souq

This large market, held just outside Bab al-Khemis north of the kasbah, brings in people from
the whole region.

Information

Taroudannt has no ‘European’ quarter or ville nouvelle (new town). Most facilities are found on
and around the two central squares, Place al-Alaouyine (formerly Place Assarag) and Place an-
Nasr (formerly Place Talmoqlate).

Banks on Place al-Alaouyine have ATMs, money-changing facilities and visa services; Crédit
du Maroc and BMCI provide the best service.
