A small town in southeastern Morocco, not far from the Algerian border.
CEMETERY: In this town, caravans to Tindouf and Timbuktu were organized. Jews were responsible for much of the trade, including black slavery. The Jewish village of Tagadirt is on the left just before entrance to Akka. Follow along a rough path for 1-kilometer. Just before it starts to climb, there is a rock field. The Jewish cemetery consists of rocks arranged in piles the length and width of a tomb. This can be seen well from on top of the hill. The tombs date at least from early in this century.
