Destinations: Tafraoute · Duration: 7 hours · Difficulty: Easy · Group size: Up to 10
Set among surreal pink granite boulders and palm-filled valleys, Tafraoute is the heart of the Ammeln Berber country in the Anti-Atlas — a landscape and culture quite distinct from the rest of Morocco. This day tour immerses you in both.
You explore the dramatic scenery, from the famous painted rocks to the palm oases and the almond groves that erupt into blossom each winter. Your guide, from the region, shares the traditions of the Ammeln people who have farmed these valleys for centuries.
A visit to an argan and almond cooperative reveals the local livelihoods behind the landscape, with tastings of oil and amlou. Add a stop in a traditional village and you have a rounded portrait of one of Morocco’s most beautiful and least-visited regions.
Explore the pink boulder landscape and the painted rocks.
Visit a palm oasis and a traditional Ammeln village with lunch.

Usually in February, when Tafraoute holds its almond blossom festival — a spectacular time to visit.
A set of large granite boulders painted blue and other colours by an artist in the 1980s, now a quirky local landmark.
It is a scenic few hours inland from Agadir; the remoteness is part of its unspoiled charm.
The region produces both argan and almond products, including the local amlou spread you will taste.
Only gentle strolls in the villages and around viewpoints; the tour is easy-going.
