Souk of Rissani
The bustling souk of Rissani, the last major market before the Sahara Desert
The last major market before the Sahara. Rissani's souk — busiest on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays — trades in dates, livestock, and desert goods. This is where the Alaouite dynasty began. The ksar ruins and royal mausoleum sit at the edge of town.
Rissani's souk is busiest on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We build Sahara itineraries around the market days when the timing works.
