Taghit

Taghit is an oasis on the Oued Zouzfana, where a palm grove lies between rocky cliffs and the dunes of the Grand Erg Occidental. Its old ksar stands on a height above the gardens and the riverbed. Channels and underground galleries carry water to the palms, sustaining cultivation beside the great sand sea. Farther downstream the Zouzfana joins the Guir at Igli, where together they form the Oued Saoura.
