Palais Oumensour

An 18th-century riad palace within Taroudant's ochre-walled medina, Palais Oumensour occupies the restored Borj Oumensour fortified residence in the Toudjent quarter, one of the city's oldest inhabited neighbourhoods.

Taroudant sits in the Souss valley 80km east of Agadir, ringed by intact ramparts and backed by Atlas foothills — a working market town that draws far fewer visitors than Marrakech despite comparable historic fabric. The palace's position inside the medina puts the tanneries and spice souk within a ten-minute walk.

With a rating of 9.4 across 147 reviews, the property ranks among the highest-scoring riads in the region. Late afternoon light through the central courtyard is a consistent guest observation.
