The town is maybe 5 km long and 1 km wide at the widest point. There are numerous small taxis (Dh 3 per person if you share).

Jebel Zagora is said to be worth climbing. There are pleasant walks along the river and in the irrigated areas around. 18 km south, Tamegroute has a famous ancient library.

[edit][add listing] Do

• Marhba au Sahara, marhba-au-sahara.com, a small family company offering tours and excursions both by 4x4 and camel through Southern Morocco and the desert. The prices include all meals, overnight stays, guide, transport and all visits.

Go on a camel trek; not necessarily to the dunes, which are hard on the legs. Caravane Mille Etoiles gave good service (January 2007, January 2008).
