Asni Frommer's Recommended


Frommer's Review
Location 48km (30 miles) S of Marrakech, 173km (107 miles) NE of Taroudannt,

Review of Asni

The hassling from touts can be quite intense here, but the weekly Saturday souk is worth a stop. Local produce (this is a big fruit-growing region) and livestock sit side by side with dentists and barbers, and sometimes you'll come across a 500-strong mule "parking lot," each beast adorned with a thick, brightly colored saddle. Should you be headed for some serious trekking, this is also the best, and cheapest, time to stock up on supplies. Arrive early to avoid the busloads of day-tripping tourists.

Above the village are the lower, forested slopes of the limestone Kik Plateau, which is a great place for a walk, particularly in spring when nature lays down carpets of alpine flowers.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
