Boumalne Dades, located in Morocco’s Dades Valley, perches above the lush ribbon of the Dades River oasis, where the waters spill out of the High Atlas Mountains and fan into the valley below.  This area  is renowned for its breathtaking gorges and dramatic landscapes.  Resting at the base of the mighty High Atlas Mountains, at the narrowest point of the valley, the Jbel Saghro Mountains seems just a hair’s breadth away.  Boumalne Dades has served as a crucial stop for traders and travellers for millennia.      

The natural beauty of the area is remarkable, with visitors drawn to the dramatic Dades Gorges hewn through the rocks of the High Atlas Mountains by the Dades River over eons, bustling local souks, traditional mud-brick kasbahs highlighting the town’s rich desert cultural heritage.  Nearby, the Tagdilt Track is a magnet for birdwatchers and nature lovers. 

Dades Gorge lies within reach of the desert oasis towns of Ouarzazate, Skoura and Tinghir, as well as the beautiful Todra Gorge.
