Msemrir & Dadès–Todra 4x4 Loop
M'Semrir
A plateau town at the upper Dades Gorge. A dirt-road four-wheel-drive loop from here links the two great gorges, a classic route for off-road and hiking enthusiasts.
From Boumalne, it is about 65 km north along the Dades Gorge to M'Semrir. The plateau at the end of the gorge is home to nomads and kasbah villages. From here, a dirt road heads east over a mountain pass to Tamtattouchte and the Todra Gorge, about 40 km in all, taking 4–5 hours. A four-wheel-drive vehicle and a local driver are required. Road conditions are poor after rain and in winter, so check that the route is passable before setting out.
