Day 5 | OUARZAZATE  / VALLEY OF DADES / TINGHIR (B, D)
Continuation toward the valley of Dades, series of oasis with a thousand Kasbahs in the valley. Starting from  Boumalne, the desert mountain slopes eat away at the ribbon of greenery. But the wadi is stubborn and gets imbedded, cracking massive limestone chunks. The valley then tightens it’s breathtaking rock face. You are entering the gorges of Dadès. Discover its beautiful oasis, mountains, poplars and rose gardens, Skoura, El-Kelaâ M’Gouna, Boumalne of Dadès and then the gorges of Dadès.

About 15 kilometres away from the village of Tinghir, at the end of a valley sprinkled with palm groves and Berber villages, the gorges of Todra are among the most beautiful natural sites of this country. This massive crevice from which runs a crystal clear river divides the High Atlas from the Djebel Sarhro and rises up to 300 m at its narrowest spot. We get on our way to the inn.

A wink to the desert, Mother Nature knits her colours. Clusters of yellow dates hanging from palm trees, laurel bushes filled with shiny pink flowers, ground, beige and grey coloured mountains nestled into a reddish earth, and far away, just like a mirage, numerous Ksour with colours copied on sand. These sights will linger in your mind as we head for Ouarzazate. Transfer and settling in at the hotel will feel like a gentle breeze.
