There is a Berber carpet shop in the market area. The carpets were beautiful, but the Tuareg owner was the best part of the visit. He spoke excellent English, and told us stories about camels and caravans. His family owned caravans in the past, but it became too difficult to continue because of border controls, need for passports, etc. Now they own looms and cooperatives, and he travels 4-5 times per year to pick up merchandise.
They brewed tea for us—It was an elaborate process involving bellows to make the fire hotter, and much pouring back and forth. He did a low-key sales pitch as we drank our tea. There were a lot of beautiful carpets, including some interesting ones made from cactus fiber.

Tinerhir is in a very productive agricultural area, and situated by a large oasis. It is also very scenic. In addition to the gorges, the town and the surrounding countryside is also worth a look.
