Ksar Tissergate

A complete, still-inhabited mud-brick fortified village about 8 km north of Zagora, with a folk museum showing Draa Valley life.

Ksar Tissergate lies about 8 km north of Zagora, beside the road. It is a mud-brick fortified village that is still lived in, and its maze-like lanes and arcades with wooden beams are well preserved. The art and folk museum inside the kasbah displays Draa Valley farm tools, clothing and jewellery, and you can climb to the roof for views over the palm groves. Admission is cheap, and it is worth a stop if you enter Zagora from the north.
