Zagora ( Arabic: زاكورة) is a town in the valley of the Draa River in Souss-Massa-Drâa, southeastern Morocco. It is located at around 30°19′50″N 5°50′17″WCoordinates: 30°19′50″N 5°50′17″W. It is flanked by the mountain Zagora from which the town got its name. Originally it was called 'Tazagourt' he singular of plural 'Tizigirt', Berber for 'twinpeaks', referring to the form of the mountain. In old European maps the mountain Zagora is already indicated but the town itself was only built in the 20th century. On the top of the Zagora mountain the remains of an Almoravid fortress can still be seen. The exact location of the former Almoravid mosque is still a matter of dispute. Each year the moussem (festival) of the Sufi saint moulay Abdelkader Jilali is celebrated at Zagora. Languages spoken in the city include Moroccan Arabic, Tachelhit and Tamazight. A well known sign at the town border states "Tombouctou 52 days", the supposed time it takes to get to Timbuktu, Mali on foot or camel

The 8th Secret Place in Marrakesch:
El Badi Palace
A Real Secret Place full of Morrocan History a place like 1000 and one knights here you can have your own Time travel (Arabic: قصر البديع‎‎ - meaning The incomparable palace) is a ruined palace located in Marrakesh, Morocco.
Commissioned by the Arab Saadian sultan Ahmad al-Mansur, sometime shortly after his accession in 1578, its construction was funded by a substantial ransom paid by the Portuguese after the Battle of the Three Kings.The palace is nowadays a well known tourist attraction.

The palace took twenty five years to build, with construction finally completed around 1593 and was a lavish display of the best craftmanship of the Saadian period.Constructed using some of the most expensive materials of the time, including gold and onyx, the colonnades are said to be constructed from marble exchanged with Italian merchants for their equivalent weight in sugar.The original building is thought to have consisted of 360 richly decorated rooms, a courtyard (135×110 m) and a central pool (90×20 m).

Moroccan Lanterns and lamps are the perfect touch for infusing a Moroccan feel to any room. We have a wide selection of Moroccan Lanterns and lamps, some with a brass finish, some with a bronzed finish and some with aged brass, but whichever you choose the effect created by the diffusion of light through the coloured glass and perforated frame is enchanting. Some of the lamps have flat bases which make them suitable for use as candle holders or can be adapted for use as table lamps.

All our Moroccan Lanterns and lamps can be easily fitted using your existing light fittings and many are also suitable for use as candle holders.

M'Hamid El Ghizlane (Arabic: امحاميد الغزلان), formerly named Taragalte is a Moroccan rural town in the province of Zagora in the Souss-Massa-Draa.

Its territory, which was once a stage in the trans-Saharan trade, has become a point for excursions in the desert, including the dunes of the erg Chegaga.M'Hamid El Ghizlane (Arabic: امحاميد الغزلان), formerly named Taragalte is a Moroccan rural town in the province of Zagora in the Souss-Massa-Draa.

Its territory, which was once a stage in the trans-Saharan trade, has become a point for excursions in the desert, including the dunes of the erg Chegaga.
It is part of an area of ​​nomadism and houses, at an altitude of about 500 m, an oasis with palm trees extending to the Draa, which separates the villages (or areas) of M'Hamid Bali (the old M'Hamid ) and M'Hamid Jdid (new M'Hamid).

Cereal crops and horticulture are practiced in mixed gardens in the palm grove, 500 meters, extending for 16 km long and 2,700 km ².

Meanwhile, there is a tourist activity: M'Hamid El Ghizlane is the starting point for excursions to the erg Lehoudi, 12 km north, reachable by road, and to the erg Chegaga south, almost 60 km, reachable by ski, by camel or 4x4. Guests have at their disposal in terms of accommodation, hotels of different categories, riads, guest houses or camp.

Most of the animation (coffee shops, small hotels, craft shops and souk Monday) takes place in the village of M'Hamid Jdid.

Each year since 2003, takes place in Me Hamid El Ghizlane the International Festival of nomads (March). Since 2009, the "Taragalte, Sahara and Culture" festival is also held there (November). These events are related to the old situation of cultural crossroads of Mr. Hamid El Ghizlane, which hosted the nomads.

Locality M'Hamid Bali contains mud houses and a large casbah.

Erg Chebbi (Arabic: عرق الشبي) is one of Morocco's two Saharan ergs – large dunes formed by wind-blown sand. The other is Erg Chigaga near M'hamid.
The dunes of Erg Chebbi reach a height of up to 150 meters and altogether spans an area of 22 kilometers from north to south and up to 5-10 kilometers from east to west.
The nearest sizable town is Erfoud, about 60 kilometers further north. One other city is Rissani, around 40 kilometers from Merzouga, and from the 8th to the 14th century there was a separate kingdom, known as Sijilmassa, which was prosperous due to caravan routes. Merzouga, the local tourist center, is located near the edge of the dunes. A number of companies offer camel trips from Merzouga and into the desert, taking tourists on overnight trips several kilometres into the erg, which is enough to bring the village out of sight.
During the warmest part of the year, Moroccans come to Erg Chebbi to be buried neck-deep in the hot sand for a few minutes at a time. This is considered to be a treatment for rheumatism.

Pottery of Morocco (Part II)

After a few meals in Morocco, you will likely encounter the tagine, a Berber dish named for the conical pot used to cook it. A tagine’s cover keeps condensation within the dish and is later removed, with the base used for serving. Tagines, or tajines, are usually slow-simmering stews with meats, vegetables and sauces. As with other cookware, avoid cooking meals in any tagines with glazed interiors. Even unglazed tagines can contain lead, so if you really want to master home cooking with these pieces, buy from a housewares company instead of at a market; if a gorgeous one at a market catches your eye, use it as a beautiful tabletop piece.

Pottery of Morocco (Part I)

Morocco’s souks are filled with colorful treasures, among them, a wide variety of pottery. Vases and pots, decorated with colorful etchings, sit for sale alongside tagines, the conical-shaped cooking pots typical of Moroccan cuisine. Three cities—Fez, Meknes and, especially, Safi, are the main pottery centers of the country, producing about 80 percent of Morocco’s pottery. In these cities, sun-baked clay twirls on wheels, forming into practical and attractive shapes. Designs etched into the wet clay set as the pottery dries in the sun. Artisans fire pieces in kilns and decorate them with colorful glazes, making them water-resistant.

Most Moroccan pottery design is heavily influenced by Islamic or Berber art. Intricate geometric and arabesque patterns tend to cover the entire surface of pieces, completely transforming the humble clay building materials. Groups of artisans carry on centuries-old traditions in their designs, passed on through families. Many pieces of pottery from Fez are various shades of blue, due to the use of cobalt oxide in glazes. Pottery from Safi is known for its metal inlays and is often made of red clay and glazed in green, turquoise and black. Potters throughout the country tend to use multicolor designs, whether Moorish-influenced curlicues or floral motifs.

Pottery finds its way into markets all over the country, but enthusiasts will find extra interest in the town of Safi, considered the capital of Moroccan pottery. The National Ceramic Museum, located in an old Portuguese fort, shows off the typical pottery styles throughout the country, and, from the walls of the fort, you can see the potters’ hill, with artists at work at their kilns. Master potter Moulay Ahmed Serghini also has an atelier in Safi, where visitors, including children, can take ceramics workshops. Serghini’s work, which has been displayed at the British Museum, is also for sale throughout the city.

Like in any other culture, ceramic arts grew out of the practical need for housewares. In addition to their beauty, earthen dinnerware, serving pieces and cookware are useful purchases. Remember, however, that many glazes are safe for decorative purposes but can cause toxicity issues if the pottery is used for cooking—harmful materials like lead and cadmium are very common. Unless buying from a vendor specializing in household wares, buy pottery with an eye for décor, not for use with food..(Vases, of course, can be used functionally in a safe manner).

zagora 🌴

Tafraout (Berber: Tafrawt) is a town in Tiznit Province, Souss-Massa-Drâa, Morocco. It is located in the Anti-Atlas mountains in mid-southern Morocco. According to the 2004 census it has a population of 4,931. Tiznit is 78 km south of Agadir, connected by a major road. The roads to Tafrawt however are difficult to traverse - narrow, snakelike, and mountainous. It takes about an hour to reach Tiznit, where a left turn leads towards Tafrawt 107 km away.. Nestled in the gorgeous Ameln Valley, the village of Tafraoute is surrounded on all sides by red-granite mountains. Despite its unassuming appearance, the area is quite prosperous due to the hard-earned cash sent home by relatives working in the big cities or abroad. It is a pleasant and relaxed base for exploring the region.
