Circuit des gorges du Dadès & du Todra 3 jours

Destinations: Dades Valley, Todra Gorge, Ouarzazate, Aït Ben Haddou · Duration: 3 days · Difficulty: Easy · Group size: Up to 12

This tour is dedicated to the two spectacular canyons of the south — the Dades and the Todra — and the beautiful country between them, without continuing all the way to the Sahara.

You cross the Atlas via Aït Ben Haddou, drive the famous Dades switchbacks, and walk in both gorges with time to appreciate the rock formations, palmeries and kasbahs. Two comfortable nights keep the pace easy.

It is a great choice for travellers with limited time who want maximum scenery.
