Boumalne Dadès
The gateway town of the Dades Valley, sitting on a river terrace. It is the base for lodging, fuel, transfers and trips into the gorge.
The town stretches along the N10 road, and from the edge of the terrace you can overlook the Dades River valley and its kasbahs. A Berber market is held on Wednesdays, where you can buy spices and carpets. The town has a bank, a petrol station and a CTM bus station, and gorge taxis depart from here. Southeast of town, the Tagdilt Plateau is a well-known spot for desert bird-watching.
