In addition to Jamma El Fnna, there is Bazars, which are shops where you can find colorful handicrafts and traditional clothes. Moreover, the city contains historical monuments such as, El Mennara, Kotoubia, and the old Madinna. After along tour in the city, we suggest to seek a traditional restaurant and order Tanjia, which is the famous dish in the city.

And during your visit to Todgha, you will admire the luring panoramic views it offers and enjoy moving throughout its green olive trees and over its rivers. Todgha contains small traditional cafés; these cafes overlook rivers and forests, where you can sit for a cap of mint tea and a delicious Moroccan Tajin.
