Todra Gorge
At Todra the river has cut a dramatic corridor through the rock, with cliffs rising around 300 metres. It is a short, unforgettable stop and a great place to walk.
About Todra Gorge
The gorge lies about 15 km above Tinghir, a town set beside a long palm grove and earthen villages. At its narrowest, the road and stream squeeze between vertical walls.
The cliffs are popular with climbers, and paths lead up through the side canyons to Amazigh villages and nomad grazing areas.
Top things to do
- Walk the narrows. Stroll through the tightest part of the gorge between sheer walls.
- Tinghir palm grove. Walk through gardens and ksour with a local guide.
- Rock climbing. Many established routes; climbing with qualified local guides on request.
- Hike over the gorge. A loop trail climbs above the canyon with great views.
- Tinghir viewpoints. Panoramic views over the oasis and old ksar.
Outdoor activities
- Gorge walks and loop hikes
- Rock climbing with qualified guides
- Palm-grove walks in Tinghir
- Photography in the canyon (best when sunlight enters the gorge)
