The Imlil valley exemplifies the evolved Morocco with its bustling development projects, erection of contemporary edifices, marketplaces, eateries. Conversely, the Imnane valley is a region where residents continue to earn their livelihood through traditional agriculture, cultivation, and livestock breeding.
