This pocket-sized Moroccan town near Marrakech is home to a historic Quranic school and zawiya — the seat of Imam Sidi Zouine — where students continue to study Islamic jurisprudence and Quran memorisation, supported by an annual royal endowment. A weekly Sunday market in the town centre draws visitors from surrounding villages and nearby towns, serving as the economic hub of the area.
