Zagora Essentials

Zagora serves as the historical gateway to the Sahara, situated at the edge of the Draa Valley. This collection highlights the town's role in trans-Saharan trade, featuring the iconic caravan sign marking the 52-day journey to Timbuktu. The list includes the expansive weekly souk, a hub for regional commerce, and the daily evening market. Visitors can explore the dense palm groves of the oasis and access elevated viewpoints offering panoramic vistas of the surrounding desert landscape and mountain ridges.
