Ready to discover Morocco’s hidden canyons and blooming valleys? Book your private Dades Canyon day trip today!
Experience the untamed beauty of southern Morocco on this full-day private tour from Ouarzazate to the spectacular Dades Canyon, passing through the fragrant and colorful Rose Valley. Ideal for nature lovers, photographers, and those in search of authentic Berber culture, this tour showcases some of the region’s most breathtaking landscapes.
The journey begins with a morning departure from Ouarzazate, traveling east through the Skoura palm grove, known for its ancient kasbahs nestled among lush date palms. Continue on to El Kelaa M’Gouna, the heart of the Valley of Roses, renowned for its rosewater cooperatives and vibrant blooms during spring.
As you ascend into the Dades Valley, you’ll pass traditional Berber villages built into the hillsides, fertile farmland, and striking rock formations shaped by centuries of wind and water. Your knowledgeable driver-guide will provide fascinating insights into the local culture and history throughout the trip.
Upon reaching the Dades Gorge, take in the towering red cliffs, winding mountain roads—including the iconic zigzag switchbacks—and natural rock sculptures like the "Monkey Fingers." Enjoy a scenic walk, explore the area, and capture stunning photographs of the landscape.
