Tamnougalt is a
kasbah and date palm oasis in the
Atlas Mountains, and located in the
Draa River valley in
Morocco, some 75 kilometers south of
Ouarzazate. The village is close to
Agdz and has a famous kasbah. The
Jbel Kissane rises to the north dominating the landscape. It is the former capital of the Mezguita region and residence of former caïds. Its name means 'meeting point' in
Tachelhit. Each year, in the first week of October the Moussem Ellama is held, a cultural and religious festival for all villages in the neighbourhood.
