Place Assarag

Taroudant's unhurried main square lined with cafe terraces

The main square and the social heart of Taroudant. Café terraces line the square and fill up in the evenings when locals come out to sit and watch. It's a good place to orientate yourself when you arrive — the medina radiates from here, and the souk entrances are a short walk away.

The square has the unhurried feel of a town that doesn't get overwhelmed by tourism. Even in high season you're more likely to be sharing a mint tea with a local than jostling through a tour group.
