Agadir to Taroudant

Posted on Sunday, 3 January 2010 by robjkentjr

After leaving Tafraoute, we drove through Agadir to camp at Arhoud, which was an unimpressive stretch of beach.  After this disappointment, we started to drive to Marrakech and stopped in Taroudant along the way.
Goats in the argan tree eating the fruit.  We could have stopped and paid for a good but we just did a drive-by.
A hilltop fortress that contains an entire within its walls.
I am sure they really are sweet girls but I would not want to be caught in a dark alley with them.
Modern European with all the amenities of brought along with you.  This campment facility had over 2,000 spots in it.
This was our wonderful hotel in Taroudant, which came to be an unexpected surprise to stop for a night.
If you ever want a tagine, go to Morocco.  They have mountains of them just lying around.
A donkey cart and his carrots at the local market.  It would be too if there was actually a stick with a carrot dangling on it.
On this eventful stretch of road we also saw an endangered Northern Bald Ibis, could not find a campsite around Taroudant and found our first African McDonald’s.  Tomorrow, we will be in the area of Marrakech but will have to make it over a remote High Atlas mountain pass first.
