Dadès Gorges

The Dadès Gorges cut through the earth in steep, layered walls of color that shift with every bend in the road.

A narrow road traces the gorge's edge, revealing rock formations that rise in dramatic, striated bands of ochre and rust. The scale is quietly overwhelming, the kind of landscape that asks you to slow down and simply look — at the light changing on the canyon walls, at the depth of the valley below, at the sky framed between the cliffs above.
