To reach Zagora it is best to start your Morocco vacation in the region of Ouarzazate, Morocco and then journey with a Travel Exploration driver in a 4×4 land cruiser for 2 hours through the Draa Valley or by pise (windy desert road). The road to Zagora by pise and through the Draa Valley will enable Moroccan travelers to discover the old Moroccan caravan routes where donkeys, camels and mules once transported sugar, tea, dates and other dry goods from the Sahara, through the Draa Valley to Ouarzazate and onto Marrakech, Morocco.

Zagora was originally called ‘Tazagourt’ the singular of plural ‘Tizigirt’, Berber for ‘twin peaks’, referring to the form of the mountain. In old European maps of Morocco the mountain Zagora is shown but the town is not since Zagora was built in the 20th century. On the top of the Zagora Mountain the remains of an Almoravid fortress can still be visited during your Morocco Sahara vacation. Each year the moussem (festival) of the Sufi saint moulay  Abd-el-Kader Jilali is celebrated at Zagora.
