After stopping for lunch we will drive through the impressive Dades Gorge along a route less travelled and somewhat off the
beaten track where you will see more ruined Kasbahs, cliffside ksars and amazing rock formations of different shapes and colours.
The landscape is nothing but spectacular, a deep river valley with patchwork green fields which rise steeply to road level,
and beyond that a flat desert plateau and all in the shadows of the snow-capped Atlas. |

and serenity.
