Dadès Valley and Stretches out between the peaks of the High
Atlas and the
Jbel

mountain range, known as the “The
Valley
of
One
Thousand
Kasbahs
’. This area is the most prominent of the oasis
valleys that dominate southern Morocco. Originating from melt water high up in the snowfields of the Haute Atlas, the river Dadès cuts a steep gorge, known as the Dadès
Gorge, at Aït Oudinar and Aït Ali. From here, it flows across the broad
Dadès Valley in a south-westerly direction towards Quarzazate. With its rocky roads with oleanders, panoramic
sights of the mountains and the Kasbah villages, this return trip is a photographer’s
delight and one for the adventure traveler.
