Tocra, Taucheira or Tukrah, is a town on the coast of the Marj District in the Cyrenaica region of northeastern Libya, founded by Cyrene.
Today it is a coastal town 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of Marj.
Taucheira was particularly noted for the worship of Cybele, in honour of whom an annual festival was celebrated.
[6] Later it became known as Tocra or Tukrah or Tokara, and then Al Quriyah or El Agouriya in Arabic.
[7] Agouriya is the name given to the city by the deposed dictator Muammar Gaddafi, in reference to the Agouri tribe.
On a relatively small scale, residents of the town grow watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, almonds, and tomatoes; but it is most famous for its figs.
