The province of Tata is extended over an area of 25925 km2 from the southern mountains, Anti-atlas, to the entry of the liberated Sahara. The number of its inhabitants is 121618, 82558 of them are in rural areas against 39060 in urban areas according to the statistics of the year 2004. It is limited by the regions of Tiznit and Guelmim to the West, the regions of Zagoura and Ouarzazate to the North East, the region of Assa-Zag to the south and the Moroccan-Algerian borders to the East and South East. The population of the region is divided in four municipalities: Tata, Akka, Foum El Hisn and Foum Zguid, 16 rural communities and over 250 fractions. The region of Tata is considered one of the most ancient human living centres in Morocco. Man established there since old generations, this is confirmed by the rock sculptures and stone tools which are present in all the parts of the region. It had remained throughout many centuries one of the major passages of ancient desert trade, and one of the most important channels through which Morocco deals with sub-Moroccan-Saharan African countries. Since prehistoric times, it was a passage for the road of caravans, then it became the road of Lamthounies. Its role gained more importance in this field namely after building Tamdoulte, famous in the era of Iddrisides, the city which was one of the most important stations for caravans in direction of Sudan coming from other parts of Morocco. It played that role to the nineteenth century and contributed to the transfer of the civilization influences between Morocco and Africa. The region of Tata has also contributed to building the Islamic culture and civilization in Morocco through its Zaouiats and various ancient schools in which education flourished, some of them gained great fame and success, and produced famous scientific figures and personalities such as Abdellah Ben Yacine, Cheikh Temnarati and his grandsons, Mohamed Ben Mbarek Akkaoui and his grandson Sidi Abdellah Ben Mbarek, the scholars Al Houcine in Tata, scholars of Yaakoubi family in Imi Ntatlite and others. The authenticity of the history of the region, its economic, scientific and religious roles, and variety of races and civilizations of its populations, all these are factors which gave it an important and varied heritage.
