Dadès Gorges

Dadès Gorges

Dadès Gorges, (Arabic: وادي دادس; French: Gorges du Dadès), is a gorge of the Dadès River and lies between the Atlas Mountains and the Jbel Saghro[1] of the Anti-Atlas mountain range, in Morocco.[2]

Berbers built many kasbahs in vicinity of gorges with defence purposes. These many kasbahs together with the natural beauty of the place have contributed to make it a tourist attraction in recent years.
