Zagora

The palm grove of Zagora is one of the main points of interest to see. Fed by the waters of the Draa River, this lush palm grove is home to several magnificent kasbahs. From here, you can start to feel the desert atmosphere, reminiscent of the time when caravans crossed it on their way to Timbuktu.

Tamegroute

This small town located south of Zagora in the Draa Valley is famous for its green enamel pottery, crafted using ancient techniques, as well as its ancient library that houses over 4,000 old manuscripts.

Foum Zguid

Known as the gateway to the desert, this town is an important passage to access the desert from Marrakech or Agadir and is home to an ancient kasbah nestled against the palm grove.

Tazenakht

How can one pass through Tazenakht without being drawn to the multitude of colors of the carpets displayed at the entrance of the workshops? Known for its beautiful carpets and the craftsmanship passed down through generations, this village is home to artisan cooperatives where women from surrounding villages come to sell their precious creations.
