About Dades Valley

The Dades Valley, which stretches from the High Atlas Mountains in the north to the rocky Jbel Saghro in the south, is peppered with oases, palm groves, and magnificent kasbahs.

The Dades River, which flows from the High Atlas Mountains before flowing into Morocco’s greatest river, “the Draa River, makes the valley lush and verdant. The Dades’ waters sustain a variety of almond, fig, walnut, and birch trees on the valley level, providing a stunning contrast to the earthen-colored stony structures rising from the valley bottom.

Dades Valley Highlights

The majority of visitors to the Dades Valley are looking for a series of tight zig-zags that rise dramatically from the valley floor to the top. Head a little past Cafe Timzillite for the best view of the valley disappearing in front of you as the road twists its way down.

The slow-paced rural life here, with the snowcapped peaks of the High Atlas in the distance, is the perfect antidote for those who have been frazzled by the souks of Marrakech and Fez.

The valley’s tiny villages are surrounded by orchards and farming fields, sandwiched between high, orange-hued cliffs. It’s especially picturesque in the spring when the fruit trees are in bloom.

There are numerous day-walking opportunities in the area, as well as excellent bird-watching opportunities.
