More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You pull off the coastal highway and the world tilts: ocean breeze traded for sun-streaked palms and a low, adobe skyline. The Tiout oasis opens like a green pocket in the arid plain, palms fanning out under a wide blue sky while a narrow irrigation channel murmurs through fields. Donkeys clip-clop along packed-earth paths; in the distance Taroudant's ochre ramparts rise, solid and deliberate.
