Missour.
Missour sits in the high, arid valley of the Moulouya River between the Middle Atlas and the eastern desert plateaus. Driving in along Route Nationale 15, the scent of charcoal, roasted cumin, and diesel fills the air. This is working cattle and sheep country where Berber pastoralists trade wool and drink scalding mint tea. You come here for honest mountain mutton, quiet streets, and the sheer silence of the steppe.
