Ourika Valley Day Trip and Weekly Berber Souks:

The Valley day trip may give you the chance to see a weekly Berber Market (Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays). Which are interesting for their rural life and trade. You’ll probably be the only tourist there if it’s the off-season. Undoubtedly, it’s a good experience and is probably the most exotic thing you can find within a 2-hour flight from a European country. The Berber markets are always divided into sections of meat, produce dry goods, clothes, stationary, barbers, animals, donkeys, and used goods. Clearly, just about everything else you can imagine, all complete with the lurid colors and smells you’d expect of a weekly Berber market in a Berber village-like asni or Amezmize.
