Jbel Zagora
The black volcanic mountain that rises above Zagora, offering a view of the entire lower Draa Valley from its summit. The ruins of an Almoravid fortress are on the top — built in the 11th century to control the valley trade routes. The climb takes two hours. The view takes in 50 kilometres of palmeraie and desert.
