the valley become more open and we see the new dam.
Km 37 – Tamtatoucht, nice village surrounded by green fields and
gray mountains. There are many hostels.

leave multiple paths at on one side and the other, which go to the stones quarries.
Km 47 – From the right arrives another track coming from Ait Hani, with two consecutive
access. In this arid plateau, in winter, there are few nomadic families Aït Merghad with their herds. Mounting a first pass, we
descend into a ravine and we climb again by a steep and rocky coast. Here nomadic shepherds are no more Ait Merghad but Ait Atta,
grazing areas being clearly divided among tribes.

of rain the track can be in a very bad condition.

off after in the Dades valley and pass near nice villages like Tighadouine, located on the other side of the river.
Km 128 – Dadès Gorges. We first passe through a scrolled, then we
climb a bit to avoid another which we see from above. After descending by switchbacks, we find ten hostels. The road continues through
other interesting landscapes, such as conglomerate formations and the Kasbahs of Ait Larbi and Mohadach among others.
