Midelt : is a market town and former French administrative post at about 32°40'48?N, 4°43'48?W in central Morocco. With an estimated population of 44,000, Midelt serves as the commercial center of a large agricultural hinterland. It is also one of Morocco's principal cities for the mining of several minerals.Midelt grew in the first half of the 20th century around a French administrative post by the same name. Previously, villages and ksour had dotted the fertile surroundings. The French established their post to facilitate the mining of lead, gypsum, other minerals, and fossils in the nearby Ahouli and Mibladen mines and elsewhere. Tourism continues to grow as
an important source of revenue for Midelt. The climate attracts many visitors, mostly Moroccans from lower climes and emigrées to Europe. These support several small hotels as well as two larger establishments catering to Europeans.In addition to visitors, local handcrafts - especially carpets and blankets in the roughhewn nomadic style - are sold through cooperatives and merchants both locally and in Morocco's larger cities
