Zogaj lies just 3–4 kilometers past Shiroka, in Shkodër. The village has a long history of fishing, herbal medicine, and hand weaving. Artisans still craft everything by hand, keeping traditions alive.

Today, Prime Minister Edi Rama posted a video from Zogaj on social media. The village is now drawing many tourists.

Meanwhile, Rama noted that Zogaj is one of six Albanian villages applying for the “Best Tourism Villages” program by the World Tourism Organization. Through this program, Zogaj presents rural Albania’s identity, lifestyle, and unique experiences.

He also called Zogaj a village of artisans and fishermen. It stands out as one of Shkodër’s top tourist spots. The village shows off its natural and cultural treasures.

Zogaj borders Lake Shkodër to the north and Mount Tarabosh to the south. To the east lies the Buna River, while the border with Montenegro marks the west.

The village is famous for fishing. Together with Shiroka, it ranks among the most beautiful areas of Northern Albania.

In addition, Zogaj is known for traditional carpets. Local women continue this craft with care. Over time, tourists have come to admire and buy these handmade products.
