Discovering the Heart of Tinghir
Nestled in the heart of Morocco, Tinghir is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. With its stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage, this city offers a perfect blend of adventure and tranquility.

As you meander through lush, shady riverside gardens, you’ll catch glimpses of the local way of life. Farmers tend to their fields along the Todra River, and nomadic shepherds have lived high on the cliffs for centuries. 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)
