I have already written about our route separately – you can read about it here<\/a><\/strong>.
Here I would like to lay out a map of the route again to make it easier to understand which areas we are talking about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. The road in the Dades Gorge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Route N10 – from Skura to Dades Gorge; <\/em><\/strong>
117 km, about 2 hours without stops<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A trip through the Dad\u00e8s Gorge<\/strong> is one of the most exciting parts of the Moroccan route. There are rocks of incredible red color, along which Berber villages are built and the remains of fortresses (kasbahs<\/strong>) rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<img<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To reach the Dades Gorge, drive east from the palm-lined oasis town of Skoura<\/strong>. Then, be sure to stop to see the ancient kasbah in the village of Ait Yul<\/strong>. This ochre-colored fortress is well preserved and rises above the road against the backdrop of fig and almond trees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<img<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

From Boumalne<\/strong> Dad\u00e8s<\/strong>, follow the turns of the gorge.
Soon you will see the Monkey Fingers<\/strong> rising from the dried riverbed. The otherworldly sandstone rock, sculpted by time and natural elements, has bizarre shapes and evokes various animal images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"<img<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the north, the gorge narrows, and the road climbs up a series of steep, dangerous bends and narrow sections. Take a break for mint tea on the terrace of the Timzzillite Hotel<\/strong> & Restaurant<\/strong> to admire the serpentine road view before turning around and heading down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning tips: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy souvenirs and products made from roses (cosmetics and oil) grown in this valley when you pass through Kalaat M’Guna<\/strong>. It is here that the festival of fragrant roses<\/strong> takes place every May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you get to the gorge in the afternoon, there is a wide range of hotels where you can spend the night in comfort. Enjoy your stay in the beautiful rooms, swim in the pool, and taste traditional tagine in one of the restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
