asni
With an interesting redwalled kasbah, Asni is the first large village on the road from Marrakech to the Tizi-n-Test Pass. Attractive orchards surround the village and there are many mule tracks leading up to the plateaux in its vicinity.
From this small settlement, a metalled road leads to the village of Imlil, which is the starting point for hikes to Jbel Toubkal. Environs The very popular moussem at Moulay Brahim, 5 km (3 miles) from Asni, takes place one to two weeks after the festival of Mouloud.
Moroccans ascribe to the saint Moulay Brahim the power to cure barren women. Pilgrims come to lay their gifts before his tomb and to hang small pieces of fabric from the shrubs here.
When one of these fragments falls from the shrub, the woman who hung it may expect a child.
