Overview

Feast, Pilgrimage or Souk, the Moussem is the most popular and the most regular Moroccan event. The one of Moulay Abdallah is the most renowned for its Fantasia. It gathers every year around one thousand horses and their magnificent horsemen. Through successive waves the troops unfurl up to the official platforms, shooting all together the honour "baroud". Toufik Naomi, 22 years old, one of the more impassionate and gifted riders, will win once again that coveted victory.
