The Sahara Desert town of Tinghir, gateway to the beautiful Todra Gorge, is dramatically set at the foot of the eastern High Atlas Mountains where the Todra River emerges from the mountains into the verdant Todra Oasis.   

An important respite for ancient camel caravans, the traditional mud-brick kasbahs of the Moroccan Sahara reflects the natural beauty and rich cultural legacy of the area. 

Tinghir is located roughly midway between Ouarzazate and Erfoud.
