Car Trip Morocco - Day 7 Tazzarine to Zagora

Left Tazzarine and drove further south via the town of N'Kob and the Draa Valley to Zagora

 Looking back at our Kasbah hotel

To reduce the risk of damage to the shock absorbers, only Mike drove the 500 meters of rough track to the main road, everybody else walked

Again met many camels on the way

a caravan of Berber nomads crossed the road ahead of us with their heavily laden donkeys

and camels

more camels

approaching the main market town of the region, N'Kob

N'Kob

our desert queen

entering the fertile Draa Valley

with its countless date Palms

Stopped for a picnic lunch amongst the Palms, and immediately a lively young girl and her brother latched onto us as guides

the brother darted up a palm tree to provide us with a handful of dates
