Things to See At The Dades Gorge in Morocco - The Valley of Kasbahs

There are many things to see at or near the Dades Gorge, which is few hours east of Marrakesh, the shopping capital of Morocco. On the way to the Dades Gorge you can visit Ait Ben Haddou, Morocco's filming capital where you can see various exhibits from the Star Wars.

The drive from Merzouga or Marrakesh to the Dades Gorge should take about five hours non-stop through the Valley of Kasbahs.

The road to the Dades Gorges crosses many amazing desert places, on route N10. The drive to the Dades Gorge is a nice way to spend a couple of days in spectacular scenery, although much more congested than route N13 through the Atlas Mountains.

If you don't want to rush it I would recommend a full day, including stop overs at tourist spots, leaving early in the morning.

If it is business that's brought you to Marrakesh, then try and extend your trip by a couple of days and visit the Erg Chebbi Desert at Merzouga. If you don't want to drive alone, you can hire a private driver or arrange a tour at your hotel in Marrakesh. Leaving early in the morning you will catch the camel ride out to the desert in the after.
