Dadès Gorges

The Dadès Gorges (Arabic: مضايق دادس, romanized: Maḍāyiq Dādis; French: Gorges du Dadès French pronunciation: [ɡɔʁʒ dy dadɛs]), also referred to as Dades Valley, are a series of rugged wadi gorges carved out by the Dadès River in Morocco. The river originates in the High Atlas range of the Atlas mountains, flowing some 350 kilometres (220 mi) southwest before joining the Draa River at the edge of the Sahara. The walls of the gorges range anywhere from 200 to 500 meters (660 to 1,640 feet).
