Temsamane

Temsamane is the country of the Aït Temsamane in the central Rif of northeastern Morocco, between the areas of Nador and Al Hoceima. Hills and valleys descend toward the Mediterranean coast, and villages are scattered through the mountain landscape. The Temsamane are among the Amazigh-speaking groups of the Rif; the medieval geographer al-Bakri mentioned them in the eleventh century.
