Soak up the History and Culture of Rissani

Rissani - it looks like a forgotten city at the edge of the unforgiving desert, almost as if it is stuck in an era of powerful dynasties, conquering rulers and warlords. This picturesque city has gained popularity, not only as the Tafilalet capital, but as a destination where visitors can still experience the true mystique of Morocco. Here, tradition and culture is still a way of life, even though Rissani has come a far way from being a major destination for caravans of camels and their owners.
