Zagora
Zagora, a popular stop on the way to the Sahara Desert, is the last major town you'll encounter before reaching Erg Chigaga, one of Morocco's largest dune regions. While many travelers spend just one night at the Zagora oasis, the town itself is a destination worth exploring. It offers a glimpse into traditional Moroccan life surrounded by breathtaking landscapes and unique sights, all with minimal urban development.
