Tafilalt
Tafilalt oasis in the suburbs of Arfudu Tafilalet is a region in southeastern Morocco, in the Sahara frontage, which covers the areas of the most important economic oasis in the Wadi Ziz and Wadi Gharis valleys in the region of southern Morocco. This is an important palm tree growing center. Today Arfud and Ar-Risani are among the most important cities in the region.
The Tafilalt region was an important trading center in the early Middle Ages, where the rich fortified city of Sidjilmas was located, on the route of the caravan from Tanger to the commercial cities of Niger, to Timbuktu.
From the middle of the 13th century, Tafilalt is in the hands of the Alawite dynasty rulers who have ruled all Morocco since the 17th century.
