It was established in AD 757 in Sijilmassa in the Sahari Caravan Road from the Niger River to Tangier.
The Amazigh fortress (Berber) was its traditional capital. Rissani, the only designed oasis town, had been built next to the ruins of Sijilmassa. Tafilalt is labeled for the dates it sells the bulk of.
