Fairytale Tafraout is a traditional village where pink, pastel-coloured houses sit surrounded by red-granite mountains. Get an insight into local life with a tour that takes you to knockout beauty spots in the Ameln Valley, an argan oil farm, and a spice-scented souk to shop for souvenirs. Plus, you'll get to taste typical Berber cuisine, too.

First up are the open plains of the Ameln Valley where there are incredible views of the eye-commanding Kasbah Tizourgane, rising above the skyline, and a whole world of weird and wonderful rock formations. Sculpted by centuries of desert winds, they come in all shapes and sizes, including the amusingly-named Napoleon's Hat.
