Rissani City
Capital of the region of the Tafilalt origin in the XVII century of the current dynasty, the Alaouite and incredibly far from tourism which has facilitated that it has maintained all its ancient flavor. It is the heir of the ancient city of Sigilmassa.
Three times a week an extraordinary market takes place in the souk of the city that gathers a large population coming from the surrounding area. Visiting the souk is highly recommended, not at all loaded with tourist stereotypes, everything in Rissani smells of authenticity! The great heritage of the Tafilalt, apart from the spectacular landscapes, possibly the most impressive of the Moroccan south, is that it preserves a very rich heritage of architecture on the ground that can be visited throughout the region but completely forgotten on trips to the region.
