TAFRAOUT

TAFRAOUT

Morocco, from the heights of his Atlas, opening the blue Mediterranean and the vast Atlantic and the dunes
of its russet Sahara, has a unassailable enamel charms crowned Tafraout and its region by lines to fly in
the oceans. Adobe dwellings and other colorful hanging boldly to threatening pink granite boulders, wonderful
human and animal forms that immortalize granite boulders, winding valleys breaks sheltering splendidly
long and narrow, gracefully dressed in black women engaged in pastoral labors. These are some pictures of
Tafraout who, though rich, are still weak to portray to perfection.
At the heart of Ammeln valley in the Anti Atlas, Tafraout is a small village situated in the center of a mountainous circle of pink granite.

Vegetation abounds in this harsh environment that gives it a special charm, especially from December to February when the almond trees are in bloom.

The village is built around the Place Mohamed V, which has banks and a post office as well as essential small cafes and restaurants. Tafraout comes alive every Wednesday, the day of the souk, just outside instead.

Show not to be missed in all seasons: sunset over the village and the surrounding mountain peaks.
