Nightlife
The town of Azemmour is still very typical.The street called "rue Moulay Bouchaib" is incredible in the evening and give a real idea of Moroccan life with all its traditional shops. The other main street called "tarek'jdida" has a lot of "cafes", small local restaurants and snacks. On Tuesday, there is a big "Souk", local open air market. El Jadida is only 17 km from there and a town where you can find some discos.
