Located at the crossroads of four stunning valleys—the Dades Valley, the Valley of the Roses, the Todra Gorge, and the Birds Valley—this region offers some of southeastern Morocco’s most spectacular scenery. These valleys form part of the Road of a Thousand Kasbahs, with the Dades and Valley of the Roses to the north and the Hamadas of N’kob and Draa Valley to the south.
The eastern part of the Anti-Atlas range, the Saghro Massif, is a volcanic landscape of granite, lava, and conglomerates, culminating at Almou n’Mansour (2,712m). Situated between the Ziz River to the east and the Draa River to the west, it lies south of the Dades Valley and Valley of the Roses, and north of the Hamadas of N’kob, Tazarine, and the Draa Valley.

"Although the weather was cloudy and SNOWING we could still savour the dades valley sights – awesome. Very knowledgeable guide and taking in trading post stops with a great lunch picnic, made the day varied and interesting."
"Tour with rural explorer not like with others with similar programmes We were picked up exactly as planned and the tour was really informative our guide/driver was spot on keeping everyone amused and informed and together. Timekeeping was good. Hamoud the driver was really chatty and everyone I spoke to said they felt really valued and looked after by him."
"An amazing day tour of the dades valley and Canyon aided by a well-informed and helpful guide. The Dades Canyon is awesome and the personal experience makes whatever photos or film you have seen of it fade into the background. Our trip was fantastic! Hamou was a guide with a great personality, attentive, knowledgeable and having some good whit! He took us to some places where you don’t normally go (Monkey fingers Canyon, tea with nomads, and print foot dinosaur) as we were trying to time the day we headed to dades gorges winding road for Sunset. The trip lasted four hours thanks hamou for this great experiences."
