A stay in Tamanar can be planned around several different reasons: the Sunday market, shopping for argan oil products, or cultural activities in the commune. The market and the Amal women’s cooperative are directly associated with Tamanar. The sixth edition of the Argan Haha Festival and a Tbourida performance relate to the commune. This distinction between the town and the commune helps you plan the weekly schedule, shopping and cultural events separately. You can decide in advance whether a specific purchase, a particular day of the week or a cultural event will determine your plans.
The market sets the rhythm of the week
A market is held in Tamanar every Sunday. If your stay includes a Sunday, you can make the market a separate item on your itinerary. The day of the week thus becomes a concrete factor when choosing your travel dates, especially for a short stay. If you plan to visit specifically, check the current market hours in advance.
Argan oil products at Amal
At the entrance to the village of Tamanar, you can buy argan oil products such as cosmetics, spread and honey at the Amal women’s cooperative. These examples include both cosmetics and food products, catering to different product interests. While the market mainly adds a fixed day of the week to your plans, Amal is a specific place to shop for argan oil products. Check the cooperative’s current opening hours before planning a visit.
A festival edition featuring workshops and an exhibition
The program for the sixth edition of the Argan Haha Festival in the commune of Tamanar included training workshops. On the first day, an exhibition of regional products opened. The two events had different focuses: the workshops provided training, while the exhibition showcased regional products. This gives you a concrete understanding of the themes of this edition, rather than grouping them under a general notion of culture.
Tbourida and the Haha heritage
A Tbourida performance in the commune of Tamanar featured local music and folkloric performances, offering insight into the centuries-old heritage of the Haha region. Unlike the festival exhibition of regional products, the Tbourida focuses on the performance, music, folklore and its connection to Haha heritage. This offers distinct cultural highlights: the exhibition’s presentation of regional products, or the Tbourida performance and its musical and folkloric traditions.
Travel dates and accommodation search
If you have already settled on your travel dates, check whether they include a Sunday when you would like to visit the market. If you are travelling for the festival program or a Tbourida performance, first confirm the specific event date. For an event taking place at the commune level, also include the venue in your plans.
