The road to Zagora is rimmed by palm tree oasis and scattered with beautifully preserved mudbrick kasbahs and ksour, which are fascinating to explore. Fortifications that once welcomed gold-laden caravans are now open to overnight visitors who wake up to fresh boufeggou dates, bread baked in earthen ovens, and a slower pace of life.
It’s a great place for a road trip, stopping at villages along the way to admire the scenery and explore the kasbahs’ shady, dimly lit passageways.
Check out Kasbah des Caids in Tamnougalt, which has been used in many Hollywood films, and Timidarte village, where the village’s ksar architecture has been beautifully restored.
Summers may be quite hot, with temperatures reaching up to 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit). Temperatures in the winter, on the other hand, are substantially lower, reaching just approximately 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit).
Draa Valley is best visited between October and April when it is less HOT and there are fewer pests. During these months, expect bright skies with little or no rain or snowfall at night.
