Mountain village over lively city
 As the sun sets and temperatures drop after another hot summer day, people stream in to city centre and start some few hours of hectic social and commercial life until the darkness becomes too dominant. The modern one is a delightful city (yes, not a village!) squeezed into the river valley between the mountains. The streets are busy but friendly, but no matter where you might walk, you will be able to spot the surrounding mountains, or even better, the sanctuary perched on a cliff right over the centre. Ghoumrassen's modern position would never have worked well in the old days. Then it would have been the easy victim of villains and hostile tribes who could attack from any of the numerous hills overlooking it. Ghoumrassen has a very popular Friday suuq, and the town is known for its olive oil as well as a special type of doughnut called ftair.
