In Episode 10 of our Morocco Vlog road trip we visit Dades Gorges, hike Dades Valley oasis, climb the canyon’s winding roads by local bus & journey the “Road of 1000 Kasbahs” from Tinghir to Ouarzazate, & onwards to Ait Benhaddou.

Today we drive from the stunning Todra Gorge to the Dades Valley. Over centuries, the Oued Dades (Dades River) has carved magnificent gorges into the southern slopes of the High Atlas Mountains (Gorges du Dadès). The drive from Boumalne Dades through the valley of kasbahs, past the Monkey Fingers rock formation, to our beautiful Riad is breathtaking.
The next morning, our Maroc guide leads us on a spectacular hike through the Dades Oasis, where lush fields of grain, vegetables, and vibrant poppies line the valley floor. Afterward, we hop on a local bus for a thrilling ride up the snaking road of 180-degree switchbacks through the gorge. The view from the top is unbeatable!
We continue our journey, passing many of those one thousand kasbahs, on the way to Ouarzazate, the “Hollywood of Morocco”, and onwards to the iconic ksar of Ait Benhaddou.

🌍 Hi, we’re Lydia & Chris, the Roving Balys!
🌍As an empty nest couple from Newcastle, Australia, we’ve traveled the world together for 30 years. We started this vlog to share our travel tales and showcase our beautiful region. We met traveling around Europe in 1995 and have since visited 50+ countries. We love discovering new places, meeting people, and trying local cuisines (including gluten-free options).Our journey has evolved from backpacking to family travel, and now back to couple adventures. With the kids doing their own thing, we’re ready to dust off our backpacks (now suitcases) and start new adventures. So grab a cup of coffee and come roving with us!
