Zemmour Amazigh

The Zemmour Amazigh are a group of indigenous people, also known as Berbers, who reside in north-central Morocco. They are primarily located in the region surrounding the town of Khemisset, between Rabat and Meknès.123

The Zemmour Amazigh are known for their traditional crafts, including the creation of mats and carpets woven from the fibers of the European dwarf fan palm and wool. They also produce carved wooden objects. Their culture has been shaped by a long history of migration and interaction, with influences from Arab, European, and sub-Saharan African traditions. The Amazigh language is part of the Afro-Asiatic language family, with distinct dialectal variations across different tribes.123
