The morning journey takes us from Ouarzazate to the Toudgha gorges through Skoura, where we will travel off-road to explore the Kasbahs, some of which are unfortunately in a state of ruin but are idyllically situated amongst a great number of palm trees in this lovely oasis. Amredhil, the most well-known of these Kasbahs, is worth a photo stop and a quick visit. The major route runs through the Valley of Roses, where roses are distilled into oils, lotions, and creams.

The Dades Valley, with its verdant gardens along the river and spectacular rock formations, is the next site to explore from there. In the Toudgha Gorges, we halt for lunch.

We stop for lunch in Taliouine, the heart of Morocco’s saffron-growing region, where there is an outstanding small museum dedicated to the art of saffron cultivation.

My girlfriend and I took a trip to Morocco with Trips Around Morocco, and everything went perfectly. We did a 4 days tour from Agadir to Merzouga, and Mohamed was our driver, and he made it even better than we expected. He is a true gentleman, and he gives us plenty of time to stop and explore the sights. Mohamed lives as a nomad, and he took us to lunch with his family, and everything was delicious. We will do it again with you guys!!
