Popular biographies in Morocco tell many stories about the importance of the weekly market day, as a time when the inhabitants of a tribe or region gather regularly to buy or sell goods, and also to make alliances and contracts and resolve disputes in a festive atmosphere.
The market is often called a day of the week, or the region, area or tribe in whose territory it is located, while its location is usually chosen according to demographic, social and political conditions and determinants.
These markets, with all the symbolic charge they carry, still maintain a strong presence in Moroccan social and economic life, despite the wide diffusion of modern markets in the country.
