Msemrir (امسمرير) is a high-mountain village of the central High Atlas, at the top of the Dadès gorges, in the Drâa-Tafilalet region (province of Tinghir). Located at roughly 31.70° north latitude and 5.81° west longitude, at about 1,900 metres of altitude, it has a mountain climate: cold, snowy winters, cool summers. A crossroads of the tracks linking the Dadès to Imilchil and the Todgha, Msemrir is a stronghold of the Ait Atta and Ait Haddidou Amazigh culture.
Msemrir is a staging village of the high plateaus of the High Atlas, at the head of the spectacular Dadès gorges. A meeting point of mountain tracks, it long lived from pastoralism and the transhumance of the Amazigh tribes. Religious practice here follows the Maliki rite, within a marked Amazigh setting.
Religious life in Msemrir sits within the Maliki Islamic tradition and the Amazigh identity of the High Atlas. The mosque of the centre and those of the hamlets set the rhythm of daily life on these heights. The Friday prayer brings together herders and villagers, and Ramadan is lived, often in the cold of the altitude, with strong communal solidarity.
As everywhere in Morocco, the Hijri calendar in Msemrir follows rukyat, the official sighting of the crescent moon announced by the Ministry of Habous. In the high mountains, crescent observation can, on some evenings, be hindered by clouds clinging to the peaks. During Ramadan, Morocco suspends summer time, shifting all prayer times by about an hour for the duration of the month.
The altitude of about 1,900 metres and the latitude (~31.7° N) give Msemrir prayer times with a marked seasonal swing, under a harsh climate. In winter, Fajr is observed around 06:20 and Maghrib around 17:40, often in the snow; in summer, Fajr falls around 04:25 and Isha around 21:50–22:15 depending on the method. The high walls of the Dadès and the Atlas ridges frame the horizon. The published times follow the Ministry of Habous method.
Msemrir is organised around the mosque of the centre and a few hamlet mosques. Here are the most notable.
The village's main mosque, at the head of the Dadès gorges.
The mosque of Aït Anir, with an Amazigh name, in the surroundings of Msemrir.
The mosque of the Aatab hamlet, one of the valley's places of prayer.

Prayer times in Msemrir are calculated using the official methods of Morocco's Ministry of Habous and Islamic Affairs. The five daily prayers — Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib and Isha — shift a little each day as the sun's position changes. Sunrise (Shuruk) is shown too: it marks the end of the valid window for the Fajr prayer.
Each prayer is announced by the adhan, the call to prayer. The adhan time in Msemrircorresponds to the start of each prayer listed above: Fajr at dawn, then Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib at sunset and Isha. Mosques across the city follow these same official times.
The Hijri dates shown follow the Moroccan lunar calendar, which is based on the official rukyat (moon sighting) and can differ by a day from the Saudi calendar. Note that Morocco moves its clock back by one hour during Ramadan.
