Zagora (?????) is a town in southern Morocco.

Get in

There are direct buses from Marrakech (approx 8 hours). From Ouarzazate there are buses and also collective taxis (approx 2 hours once you have started, Dh 50-70 in January 2008).

Get around

The town is maybe 5 km long and 1 km wide at the widest point. There are numerous small taxis (Dh 3 per person if you share).

See

Jebel Zagora is said to be worth climbing. There are pleasant walks along the river and in the irrigated areas around. 18 km south, Tamegroute has a famous ancient library.

Do

Go on a camel trek; not necessarily to the dunes, which are hard on the legs. Caravane Mille Etoiles gave good service (January 2007, January 2008).

Buy

Dates and spices in the market (Wednesday and Sunday).

Eat

Drink

Sleep

Auberge Restaurant Chez Ali (on the way to the river) is worth looking at for its remarkable garden.
