Imilchil is a village located at 2200 meters altitude (7217 feet) in the heart of the High Atlas Mountains Range. Within Errachidia Province, Imilchil is located in the land of the Aït Hdiddou tribe that belongs to the Aït Yafelman section.

Imilchil represents a symbol of the Amazigh culture and its festival is well known between all Berber people. The annual festival is officially called “Marriage Festival” and is held in September in Souk Aam and Agdoud N’Oulmghenni. This festival features the Aït Yaazza culture of an annual collective marriage where women search and choose their husband.

A moussem is a party, a regional festival that combines a religious celebration with music and commercial trade with a huge market.
