Zagora, in southeastern Morocco, is a place inextricably linked to the Sahara Desert.
The culture of the people living in Zagora is very different from those people living in the North.
A combination of Arabs and Amazighs with strong sense of independence, but at the same time are friendly and welcoming to visitors.
Zagora is an ideal base from where you can explore the Sahara desert. The nearest dunes of Tinfou, are just a few kilometers away.
But its not only the desert that attracts you to this unique city, it is also the wonderful palm forest with the most delicious dates in the country.
From here, you can visit beautiful Berber villages.
Tamegroute, Tissergate, Amezrou and the amazing Draa valley, which follows the turns of the river of the same name are some of them.
The river is ideal to admire the exotic wildlife in an environment that will magnetize you.
At the city limits you will find the most photographed sign “Tombouktou 52 jours”, where informs you that if you travel with a camel to Timbuktu, is 52 days away.
