Overview

About This Journey

For those who love gorges, canyons and dramatic rock scenery without the long desert drive. Day one crosses the Atlas Mountains to UNESCO Ait Ben Haddou, then continues into the famous Dades Valley with its bizarre 'Monkey Fingers' cliffs, thousand-year-old kasbahs and lush river gorges. Overnight in a beautiful kasbah-style hotel perched right above the river gorge. Day two continues to neighboring Todra Gorge — a narrow slot canyon with 300m limestone walls, considered by many the most spectacular gorge in Morocco — where you'll hike for 1–2 hours. Afternoon return through Skoura oasis palms and Ouarzazate back to Marrakech.
