Today, Rissani is home to one of the largest markets in the desert region, where locals buy and sell fruits, spices, clothes, and even animals like donkeys and goats.

After exploring the market, we will continue to Fezna to visit the old underground irrigation system. These small tunnels were built long ago to bring water from the mountains to farms in the desert, and they are still impressive to see today.
