Rissani serves as the historical capital of the Tafilalet region and the ancestral home of Morocco’s ruling Alaouite dynasty. This collection highlights the town's architectural heritage, from the 17th-century mausoleum of Moulay Ali Cherif to the mud-brick fortifications of Ksar Abouam. The central souk provides a look into Saharan trade with its specialized livestock and spice markets, while local eateries offer regional staples like Madfouna, a traditional stuffed bread unique to this desert outpost.
