A scene from the Wednesday suuq in the main village cluster in Kelaa-des-Mgouna.

Kelaa-des-Mgouna is the centre of rose production, with two large factories for rose water. Every May, a Rose festival takes place here.
The process of making rose water is quite impressive. In order to make one single litre of rose water, it is needed about 3,000 kilo rose petals. In all of Kelaa-des-Mgouna there are 4,200 km of rose hedges, and all of this has the capacity of only 1,400 litre of rose water. So don't mind if it has a price.
