Holidays in Tafraout
A visit to Tafraout is stimulated, not by its peripheral history or indeed by its buildings but by its natural phenomena. The oasis of Tafraoute is overpowered by the awesome shaped natural rock formations, scattered and balancing at precarious angles along the length of the valley.
About 4 kms from Tafraoute is a sight well worth a short detour - in 1984 a Belgian Painter (Jean Veran), with the help of a team of local firemen and 18 tons of paint, sprayed most of the colossal boulders spread over an out-of-sight field in blue, red, orange and purple - it's bewitching.
Between January and mid-February, the whole region offers spectacular scenery when the almond trees are in full bloom. On the road between Tafraoute and Ait Baha one passes some of the most breathtaking views of agadirs (fortified villages) perched on rocky outcrops. The finest example is probably Tioulit which is 46 Kms from Tafraoute.
