Tagounite is known for its abandoned kasbahs,[4] as well as numerous meteorites found in the area.[5][6][7] It counted a sizeable Jewish population before the mass Moroccan Jewish exodus to Israel.[8][9]

Tagounite has been one of the arrival points at the annual Africa Eco Race.[10][11][12]

The Draa River flows through the commune,[4] which has benefited from numerous water distribution and demineralization projects in recent years.[13][14]
