Dadès Gorges, Canyon in Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco.
The Dadès Gorges extends through red and grey rock formations, creating deep valleys with steep walls reaching heights of several hundred meters.
The gorges formed over millions of years as the Dadès River carved its path through the Atlas Mountains, shaping the current landscape.
Local Berber communities maintain traditional kasbahs near the gorges, constructing them from red clay and straw using ancestral building techniques.
Visitors can access the gorges via National Route 10, with numerous parking areas and viewpoints located along the winding mountain road.
The rock layers in Dadès Gorges display geological formations known as monkey fingers, creating natural patterns in the canyon walls.
