Boumalne Dades Valley, Drâa-Tafilalet, Morocco
The Dades Valley is one of Morocco’s prime walking and hiking destinations due to the weird rock formations and stunning mountain scenery inside the gorge. Nature-lovers should keep their eyes peeled for eagle and lammergeyer sightings, while trekking fans will simply just love the empty trails here.
Several interesting villages are in the nearby vicinity. El Kelaa M’Gouna village is the center of Morocco’s rose-growing region (used for the famed rose essence), and being here in spring when the flowers bloom is delightful. A souk is held here every Wednesday. The village of Azlag is renowned for producing the most finely worked daggers in the country, and is home to approximately 120 working blacksmiths. The kasbah is the main sightseeing attraction in the village.
