The experience

Tafraoute sits in the Anti-Atlas mountains south of Agadir, and the drive there passes through the granaries of Imcheguigueln and Tizerkine: mud-brick structures built into the landscape where Berber families still store grain. You'll stop for hot mint tea and see the argan trees that dot the hillsides, sometimes with goats standing in the branches to feed on the leaves. The granaries themselves are the real draw: they show how people built for the climate and the seasons long before modern storage, and they're still in use.

Tafraoute itself is a small town surrounded by dramatic rock formations, and the guide will show you the traditional architecture and the daily life of the region before you head to Tiznit. Tiznit is larger, enclosed by a defensive wall built in the 1880s, and it's known as the silver city for the jewelry workshops and shops that line its streets. You'll have time to walk through the medina, see the Berber craftsmanship, and browse souvenirs before the return drive to Agadir.

Hotel pickup is included, and your guide speaks English, French or German throughout the day. Lunch is on your own, so you can choose where and what to eat in either town. The full journey takes 10 to 12 hours from start to finish.
