With views of both the High Atlas and Anti Atlas, this Souss Valley trading centre (Click
here) is known as Little Marrakesh, offering a medina and souqs without the big-city
hustlers. Day trippers from Agadir will certainly find it charming. The town’s red-mud ramparts
are unique, changing colour according to the time of day. Circle the 7.5km perimeter by foot,
bike or horse-drawn calèche, then return to the medina through one of the gates. After the
sunset glow fades from the walls, the town is a relaxing, everyday place with some good
restaurants.
