Today is the day we bask in the luxury of gems and traditional Moroccan tapestry. Taroudant town is known as the "Grandmother of Marrakesh" because it looks like a smaller Marrakesh. The city has the feel of a small fortified market town on a caravan route. Taroudant is known for its local crafts, including jewelry and carpets. The oasis of Tafraoute is on the way and we’ll find ancient traditions and genuinely friendly people. There are no road signs, and the only people are shepherds, taking shelter in the chilly shadows between the rocks.
