TRIP TO THE RISSANI KSARS

Excursions

Prices : Price: 95€ ( sharing a jeep ´til 6 people )

 

Rissani, the ancient capital of Tafilalet, is the birth of the Alaouite dynasty. In 1666, Moulay Er Rachid started the conquest of Morocco. Rissani and its surroundings preserve vestiges of these past times: more than 350 ksars. Also, we will observe the ancient fortified towns, the way they could prevent the frequent attacks, as it was a crossing desert route for the caravans.

Two of the most representative ksars are Omlet Abd halime and Filda, which were built more than two centuries ago. They are found in the south of Rissani in an historic route which traces the palm fields’ line around twenty kilometers and in which the ksars indicate the way in this asphalted road.

On the same itinerary, we will pass in front of a part of a wall, remains from the ancient city of Sijilmassa.
