Tarudant

"Tarudant (en árabe: ) es una ciudad marroquí emplazada en el valle del río Sus, al sur del país. Se encuentra en la carretera que va de Agadir a Uarzazat. Tiene el aspecto de una pequeña ciudad-mercado fortificada de una ruta caravanera. Se le llama la "Abuela de Marrakech" porque se parece a esta ciudad en pequeño, con su recinto amurallado, que al contrario de Marrakech encierra todo su casco urbano. Se encuentra a 223 km al suroeste de Marrakech y a 85 km al este de Agadir. La zona es conocida por su aceite de oliva, sus cajas de madera, platería y alfombras."

"Taroudant (Berber: ; Arabic: ) is a city in the Sous Valley in southern Morocco. It is situated east of Agadir on the road to Ouarzazate and the Sahara desert and south of Marrakesh. The town is known as the "Grandmother of Marrakesh" because it looks like a smaller Marrakesh with its surrounding ramparts. In the sixteenth century, the Saadians briefly used Taroudant as a capital before they moved onwards to Marrakesh. Today, the city has the feel of a small fortified market town on a caravan route. Taroudant is known for its local crafts, including jewellery and carpets. Unlike Marrakesh, almost the entire city of Taroudant is located inside its walls. A new part of the city is being developed outside the city walls around the campus of a faculty of the Ibn Zohr University of Agadir."
