When we left Marrakech we did not go directly to the High Atlas. We took a small detour so Mustapha could show us the "Monday Market." This is a traditional souk in Tnine-de-l’Ourika (valley of Ourika). There was a good bit of livestock trading as well as many other products. Quite a few people there did not want us to take pictures.
