Dades Gorges
Nomad crossings, rose valleys and two-tone kasbahs: even on paper, the Dadès Valley stretches the imagination. From the daunting High Atlas to the north to the rugged Jebel Saghro range south, the valley is dotted with oases and mudbrick palaces that give the region its fairy-tale nickname – Valley of a Thousand Kasbahs. Some of the best views are only glimpsed when travelling on foot, along hidden livestock tracks between the Dadès and Todra Gorges and nomad routes across the Saghro.

The most interesting site in the Ferkla oasis is the Ksar El Khorbat Oujdid (31º 29,693' N - 5º 05,206' W), build in the middle nineteenth century and that is being restored by a local association with the help from international institutions and private investors. This Ksar was the political capital of the Ait Mergad tribe until the 1930's and has a very special artistic value because of the structure of its covered streets, absolutely rectangular, with shafts of light at intersections. The association established its premises inside the Ksar, conducting in them various activities that tend to boost economic and cultural life of its inhabitants: female crafts, preschool courses, literacy courses for women, art exhibitions...
