Zagora

I traveled by bus through the Atlas Mountains from Marrakech to Zagora. The last part of the trip was along a large wadi lined with date palm oases.

I explored the caravan town of Zagora, famously the start of a 52-day trek across the Sahara to the ancient trading city of Timbuktu.

I trekked up Jebel Zagora, one in a chain of volcanic peaks just outside town.
