Tiout Palm Grove
Nestled 30 kilometers southeast of Taroudannt, the Tiout Palm Grove is a natural haven and a living repository of historical and cultural treasures. With its 16th century Saadi-era kasbah and its lush oasis irrigated by traditional canal systems, Tiout serves as a quintessential example of southern Moroccan oases.
In 2020, the SDRT Souss-Massa initiated a detailed plan to enhance the grove’s appeal, transforming it into a thriving destination for eco-tourism while preserving its cultural heritage.
