Key Facts

Assa-Zag is a province located in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region of southern Morocco. Situated in the northwestern part of the Sahara Desert, this province occupies a strategic position near Morocco's border with Western Sahara. Covering an area of approximately 12,500 square kilometers, Assa-Zag is characterized by its arid desert landscape, featuring vast plains, rocky plateaus, and occasional oasis settlements that support limited agriculture. The province has a population of around 45,000 people, primarily consisting of Sahrawi and Berber communities who maintain traditional nomadic and semi-nomadic lifestyles, though urbanization is gradually increasing. Administratively, Assa-Zag is divided into two municipalities and several rural communes, with the town of Assa serving as the provincial capital and main urban center. The economy relies heavily on pastoralism, small-scale agriculture in oasis areas, and increasingly on cross-border trade and transportation services due to its location along important transit routes. This province provides access to postal code information for its various municipalities and rural communes, facilitating communication and administrative services throughout the region.
