Amtoudi is both a bit off the beaten track for normal tourism in Morocco, and yet one of the most attractive stops on any visit. The reason is very simple: Amtoudi has one of the oldest and best preserved granaries, or agadirs as they are called, in North Africa. Agadirs no longer serve their purpose, they belong to the times when bandits as well as rival tribes were out for the wealth of others. And nothing could be more valuable than grain, dates and gunpowder in this area where conditions of life are hard and where rain sometimes can fail for the entire season. The agadir here is 800 years old, and is fantastically well preserved. Getting here is half of the experience, as you will have to either climb the narrow trail along the ridge of the mountains or or hire a donkey or a mule which will to the hard job for you.
