Taroudant (تارودانت) is an inland city of southern Morocco, at the heart of the Souss plain, in the Souss-Massa region. Located at roughly 30.47° north latitude and 8.88° west longitude, at low altitude between the High Atlas and the Anti-Atlas, it has a hot semi-arid climate: very hot summers, mild winters. Ringed by ochre-earth ramparts that earn it the nickname 'little Marrakech', Taroudant sees its low latitude limit the seasonal swing of its prayer times.
Taroudant is an old city of the Souss, which had its moment of glory in the 16th century when the Saadians briefly made it their capital before their conquest of Marrakech. Its rammed-earth ramparts, several kilometres long, are among the best preserved in Morocco. An agricultural centre of the rich Souss plain (citrus, olive and argan trees), the city has remained an important regional market. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, common to all of Morocco.
Religious life in Taroudant sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition of the Souss, carried by the Grand Mosque and a network of neighbourhood mosques within the ramparts. The Friday prayer brings together souk merchants, farmers and residents of the medina. Ramadan is lived with a strong communal dimension. Several mosques bear the name of Alaouite sultans or Quranic references.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Taroudant follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. This method can produce a one-day difference from the Saudi calendar, notably for Ramadan and the two Eids. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The low latitude (~30.5° N) gives Taroudant prayer times with a relatively limited seasonal swing, under a hot climate. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:30 and Maghrib around 17:55; in summer, under often intense heat, Fajr falls around 04:45 and Isha around 21:55–22:25 depending on the method. The High Atlas massif to the north and the Anti-Atlas to the south frame the plain without noticeably affecting sunsets towards the west. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Taroudant has many mosques within its ramparts, from the Grand Mosque to the neighbourhood mosques. Here are some of the most notable.
The city's main mosque ('Jamaa Lakbir'), the religious heart of the fortified medina.
A mosque bearing the name of the Alaouite sultan Moulay Hassan I (late 19th century).
'Badr' evokes the first great victory of the Muslims, in year 2 of the Hijra. A neighbourhood mosque.
