**Tata** (Arabic: طاطا, ber: *ⵟⴰⵟⴰ*) is a city in central [Morocco](/source/Morocco) with a population of 18,611[1] according to the country's [2014 census](/source/2014_Moroccan_census). It is the largest city in [Tata Province](/source/Tata_Province).[2]

It is situated on a desert plain of the [Sahara Desert](/source/Sahara_Desert), southeast of [Agadir](/source/Agadir) and [Taroudant](/source/Taroudant), close to the [Algerian](/source/Algeria) border and the mountain range [Anti-Atlas](/source/Anti-Atlas), located at the foot of the Bani mountain range, a lower range along the southern side of the Anti-Atlas (Arabic: سلسلة جبال باني). Tourists use the town as a base for excursions in the area. Tata lies on the N12 highway between the north-east of the regional capital [Guelmim](/source/Guelmim) and the south of the neighboring region of [Drâa-Tafilalet](/source/Dr%C3%A2a-Tafilalet). Due to the remoteness of the area, there is no border crossing with Algeria.
