The kasbah’s impressive façade and sandy-colored towers make it a great place for photos before continuing your desert journey.

Draa Valley

Drive through the picturesque Draa Valley, one of Morocco’s longest and most fertile valleys. The route is lined with thousands of palm trees, fortified villages, and ancient kasbahs. This scenic stretch is ideal for observing the contrast between lush oasis landscapes and the surrounding desert mountains.
