The Anti-Atlas: Agadir to Tafraoute – Route Guide
Last updated:
Morocco without the tour buses: honey-walled medinas, 'little Marrakech' minus the hustle; then the climb into the Anti-Atlas, where Tafraoute sits in a bowl of pink granite boulders (some painted blue by a Belgian artist, decades on and still surreal) below the Ameln valley's palm villages. Silversmiths close the loop. Argan country all the way.
