The Real Rissani


At the edge of the Sahara desert lies a small town called Rissani, about 222 miles east of Marrakech. It's where many tourists stay before a taking a jeep and camel excursion to the dunes. I had the opportunity to spend time and look around there before the dune trek. Rissani has a pretty sizable bazaar where people sell everything from clothes, to spices, to fresh vegetables. It is not a slick looking as the souks you'll find in the big cities but somehow it seems more real.
