A rich market was established there, thanks to the prosperous caravan routes originating in Mali's capital Tombouctou and leading to different Moroccan cities like Marrakech and Fes. The market survives to this day. It is interesting in that it is not a tourist souk, but serves the people living there. 3 times a week (Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday) it grows to double its size, due to the farmers and nomads meeting to sell their animals, vegetables, dates and other produce. 
From there, we will continue our journey passing through Alnif, Tazarin, N'kob. Then meet up with the Draa valley lined by many palm groves. You will continue the trip passing the volcanic Saghro mountains stopping for jaw-dropping views. Dinner and overnight at the Riad

After lunch, we will continue our trip and will take you in the beauty of the cedar forests in the Middle Atlas and look out for the abundant Barbary Macaques as we drive through. We'll have the opportunity to meet with them in the forest, an experience you will remember for ever.  They like to travel in troops of 10 to 30 and are the only macaque species found outside of Asia.  Indeed, they the only primate found north of the Sahara!

We pass by Ifrane; a charming town nicknamed ‘Little Switzerland.’ Although unusual in Morocco, the architecture of the Middle Atlas Mountains, being in the alpine style, gives this place the charm and magnetism of a European ski resort and is certainly a popular destination for skiers.

Then, we are off to explore the magnificent city of Fes!
