The huge main souq takes over the eastern side of this small town on Sundays. In amongst all the fresh produce, seek out the Amazigh women weavers for superb bargains in flat-weave rugs, textiles and carpets. There are also some stalls selling fine basketware. Beware: many people quote in rials (Dh1 = 20 rials).
