  Tindouf is close to the Moroccan and Mauritanian borders, and it sees few tourists because of political strife in the neighboring Western Sahara. Residents of Tindouf reside in military camps bearing the names of the Western Sahara cities they left behind. Tourists seeking accommodations in Tindouf must settle for the closest Moroccan cities of Taroudant and Agadir, about 200 miles away.

  Taroudant is south of Marrakesh with a similar, but scaled down marketplace atmosphere offering street wares of jewelry, carpets and local crafts. There are four- and five-star hotels in the Taroudant area, as well as affordable hotel rooms geared toward the middle class whose prices range from 55 to 100 euros for a two-night stay as of 2010. The currency in this area is the Moroccan dirham, but of course European currency is accepted too. The hotels on this list boast mountain views, beautiful olive trees and swaying palms.
  
  The Riad Dar Zitoune Hotel is just a few miles away from Taroudant in the south of Morocco, offering air-conditioned bungalows and suites. Guests relax in an outdoor swimming pool and a heated Jacuzzi; an attached restaurant serves a fusion of Moroccan and European cuisine.

  Agadir is a populous city in southwest Morocco, famous for its seafood, port, fishing and sardine industries. The city is on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and known as one of the better seaside resorts in Morocco; however, Agadir, with its European cafes, bustling crowds and modern atmosphere, differs from the outdoor markets of traditional Morocco.
  
  The Appart-Hôtel Tagadirt is a low-cost option in central Agadir, a short walk from the beach, and offers amenities amid Moorish-style architecture.
