Fkih Ben Salah: Weekly Market and Surroundings

Fkih Ben Salah can be planned around two distinct visitor attractions: the weekly souk is in the town, while Aïn Asserdoun Park is in Béni Mellal, about 40 kilometres away. The market and the garden park are therefore two clearly separate destinations. If you are looking for a hotel in Fkih Ben Salah, this distinction can help you decide what to focus on during your stay. You can treat a visit to the market in town and a visit to the park in Béni Mellal as separate parts of your itinerary.

The weekly souk in Fkih Ben Salah

The souk offers locally grown fruit and vegetables, spices, clothing and handicrafts. Its range therefore spans everything from food to clothing and handcrafted goods. A visit gives you several categories of goods to explore: if you are interested in locally grown produce, you will find fruit and vegetables; spices make up another part of the selection, while clothing and handicrafts appeal to other interests. The souk is not limited to a single type of product. If you are particularly interested in food, the market offers something for you, just as it does if you are looking for clothing or handicrafts. If you would like to visit the souk specifically, check the relevant market day and current opening times in advance.

Aïn Asserdoun Park in Béni Mellal

Aïn Asserdoun Park is an extensive garden in Béni Mellal and is classified as a national heritage site. Its features include a spring, waterfalls and green spaces. This makes a garden visit centred on water and greenery, while the souk is the focus of a market visit. Its approximate distance of around 40 kilometres makes the park a separate destination outside Fkih Ben Salah. So if you include Aïn Asserdoun in your plans, keep in mind that the park is located in Béni Mellal.
