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.
