Kasbah de La Vallée is a small hotel-restaurant ideally located at the entrance of the Dades gorges; it offers a wonderful panoramic view over the oued, the silver poplars and the awesome Dades gorges.

Tineghir (for Todra Gorge)

Tineghir is a lovely city that lies between the High Atlas mountains in the north and Jbel Saghro in the south; it comes alive on Mondays when the Berber souk is held, attracting people from all the villages in the surrounding mountains BUT you are most likely to stay here for the situation near the entrance to the amazing Todra Gorge. The gorge itself is a 30 minute short drive along the palm-lined valley so any of the hotels featured here is ideal for visiting the gorge.

Tinghir also offers many cultural interests, such as the famous Jewish neighbourhood and the pottery of El Hart, the Afanour Mosque, the palm grove and El Khorbat with its Museum of Oasis.

The city is built around a promontory dominated by the ruins of an old residence of Glaoui, which was a military outpost during the protectorate. The palmeraie, at 35 km, is full of small Ksours and Kasbahs. Walks on foot or by bike are offered to visitors, where they can discover community organisation, in terms of work in fields like water distribution.
