Tafraoute- Travel Tips

What to See, How to Plan & Tours

Tafraoute, set in Morocco's Anti-Atlas mountains, is known for its dramatic pink granite landscapes, particularly striking at sunrise and sunset. The town is famous for its annual almond blossom season in February, celebrated with local music and festivities. Nearby, the Painted Rocks—an art installation by Belgian artist Jean Verame—add a surreal touch to the rugged scenery. The surrounding Ameln Valley offers excellent hiking and cultural encounters with Berber communities. Tafraoute is also a hub for traditional crafts, including finely made leather slippers and silver jewelry, reflecting the region's artisanal heritage.
