Souk/Market - Msemrir Dades Gorges

Updated: Oct 26


M'Semrir is a commune in the Tinghir Province of the Drâa-Tafilalet administrative region of Morocco. Its population is just under 10,000.


This souk is open on Saturdays. The journey through the pass is full of stunning scenery, switching between rugged mountains and beautiful valleys.


Within the vast tapestry of Morocco's landscapes, the Market Souk Msemrir stands out as a vibrant testament to the country's rich cultural heritage and bustling daily life. Nestled amidst the scenic wonders of the Dades Gorges, this market is more than just a traditional souk; it's a journey into the heart and soul of Morocco itself.



The drive to the souk on a dirt single-lane road (dual-lane) with a one-kilometre drop to the side was a highlight of our day.



The Souk Msemrir awakens every sense. The air here carries the aroma of spices and local delicacies reminiscent of the culinary journeys in the markets of Oualidia.

From rare spices that bring Moroccan cuisine to life to handmade textiles that tell tales of generation-old crafts, the market is a treasure trove to explore. Each stall and shop is a portal into the rich tapestry of Moroccan heritage, offering keepsakes and memories as unique as the souk itself.


But perhaps the most enduring aspect of the Market Souk Msemrir is its people. The warmth and hospitality of the vendors, the stories that weave through their crafts and goods, and the shared moments of laughter.


For those looking to immerse themselves in the authentic Moroccan experience, the Market Souk Msemrir is an unmissable destination. Every visit reveals new layers, stories, and treasures.
