Every village in the Atlas foothills has a weekly souk, and the market’s name tells you its day: Tnine means Monday, Tleta Tuesday, Khemis Thursday, Sebt Saturday. These are working country markets, not tourist souks: farmers sell vegetables and livestock, there are barbers, blacksmiths, tea tents and mule parks.
We pick the market by the day you travel, then add a short walk or a village visit nearby:
– Monday: Tnine Ourika (Ourika Valley)
– Tuesday: Amizmiz or Tahanaout
– Wednesday: Ijoukak (Tizi n’Test road)
– Thursday: Khemis Ouirgane
– Friday: Aghmat
– Saturday: Asni (on the way to Imlil)
– Sunday: Sidi Ghiat
Market days are subject to change, especially around holidays and Ramadan; we confirm the day with you before the trip.
