With its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, this city offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility. As the sun rises on April 19th, the weather promises a clear and comfortable day, ideal for a morning adventure. Start your day with a Todra Gorges Hike, a half-day exploration that takes you off the beaten path.

The hike offers breathtaking views of the Highland Atlas panorama, making it a must-do for nature lovers.

Exceptional not to be missed - With the guide Mohammed Moujane we arrived at the Todra Gorges after crossing the valley…. palm groves and lots of greenery .. then suddenly the canyon … incredible lights and colors you walk through these big red walls and you are breathless. An experience not to be missed that I highly recommend. (Reviewed at: 2024-10-26)
