The visit took us 1 hour but it was worth 3 centuries of time travelling while seeing all the collected materials Mr Zaid exposed and gave back somehow to life. Located in the middle of a rocky island, the view of bubbling water is just awesome 😊

So wonderful! Highly recommend stopping here and talking with Zaid. The museum has so many amazing artifacts and the mineral spring is beautiful! What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. We were here about an hour and had a lovely conversation with Zaid! Blessings to him and his life endeavor!

From the afar, you don’t know what to expect of this small but beautiful place. We were extremely glad to have stopped by, the owner and curator of this museum has created a beautiful story with his artifacts that walks you through the lives of the Berber in Morocco. His mission, which is to preserve the country’s natural beauty and clean up the landscapes that have been abandoned and sprinkled in garbage is inspiring. Stop by to see the admirable hard work of this man. Make sure you come with plenty of time, bc he likes to walk you through the museum and it’s more enjoyable if you’re not in a rush.

We spent the night as we were travelling in our van and got up in the morning to visit the museum. It was a beautiful site with an extensive array of Berber and Moroccan artifacts dating back to the Neolithic period. All mixed with quotes from philosophers and citations on the intrinsic relationship between water, nature and the planet. Definitely a hidden little gem worth visiting that depicts Moroccan culture and history, the beauty of the Oasis and the importance of protecting water and nature. A beautiful reminder that all cultures, humans and animals alike around the world have settled and lived around sources of water.

Todra River

Mentioned on

River
Nature & Parks
Canyons
The Todra River, stretching over 40 km and flowing into the Todra Gorges, is a vital water source for the Tinghir palm grove. The area's communal gardens thrive on its waters, nurturing an abundance of fruits and vegetables. The river's pristine waters wind through the dramatic Todgha Gorge, creating a mesmerizing experience amidst rugged cliffs and lush palm groves. Whether you're an adventurous hiker or seeking tranquility, this gem of nature offers it all.
Todra Gorge is a very spectacular place located in the Atlas mountains. It is limestone Canyon that was carved by the river and is really quite a stunning formation with the canyon walls reaching up to 400 m high. For those interested in rock climbing it is almost paradise. But we left it with just a nice walk along the river bed admiring the canyon and the walls.
Ross D — Google review
Exploring Todgha Gorge is like stepping into a natural wonder carved by time. The towering red cliffs, soaring up to 300 meters high, create a breathtaking pathway that feels almost otherworldly. Walking through the narrow canyon, you can hear the soft flow of the river, blending harmoniously with the rugged terrain. Todgha Gorge is a paradise for photographers alike. The play of sunlight on the crimson rocks throughout the day creates ever-changing hues that add to its charm. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast or just a curious traveler, this place will leave a lasting impression.
Alfred N — Google review
Stunning! Bonus Points for putting your feet in the cold stream. Wild that it comes from the earth. Lots of people have picnics in little island in the water. A few vendors. The walk through the gorge is beautiful.
Heather A — Google review
A nice narrow way in the middle of very steep mountains. A perfect place for mountain climbing that I saw few people doing there. If you are not into climbing, this will be a stop for some pictures and that's it. You also don't have a lot of places to take those different pics, so I wouldn't see it as a long stop. What you won't be missing are sellers at every free spot at this place.

Magical!! There are some beautiful things in the universe that only the eyes can behold. Even the phone can’t behold the beauty…! Except drones 😂maybe a drone would capture the true beauty of this place. The local guide kind of rushed us, so we could take so much pictures…he was just moving fiam fiam fiam. 🥲 And I did not like the fact that they were selling stuffs there, the literally nailed the the rock to hang their products for sell.I did not like it. it ruined the the aesthetics of the rock.

Aventures Verticales Maroc offers a wide range of rock climbing equipment for rent at their shop located at the entrance of the gorge. Visitors can find everything they need, from ropes and harnesses to helmets, quickdraws, carabiners, and climbing shoes. The company also arranges guided climbing trips in Todra Gorge with experienced climbers like Julio and Emily. They provide valuable advice and ensure a safe and customized experience based on individual climbing abilities.
Our short climbing trip to Todra gorge wouldn't be enjoyable and adventurous without Julio. He's a very knowledgeable man with many years of climbing experience. I call him the legend of Todra Gorge. If there’s anything you need or have doubts about, he’s the man to contact. I highly recommend his guidance if you are new to climbing. He will guide you to the right path to your climbing endeavors.

We hired a guide to climb a multi pitch with us since we had 3 people and Kamal was nothing short of incredible. Very talented climber and even more sociable.

Todgha Gorge

Nature & Parks

Incredible views of high rocky sides of the impressive gorge. The reddish colour of the mineralised rocks add a good contrast to the little stream flowing at the base. Tourists who like to remove their shoes and dip into the cool waters of the stream. Numerous stalls along the roadside sell local clothes and furnishings. Be prepared to bargain to get your money's worth, but do give them enough to help them earn some profit.
Avril A — Google review
When you arrive here, the sheer scale of the gorge surrounding you will send your senses into a frenzy with how epic it all is. A place that's a rock climbers paradise, Todgha Gorge is the last stop before the desert itself and of course you have the usual souvenir stands geared towards tourists and the odd refreshment stop here and there, but on a beautiful sunny day there is something simply breathtaking about seeing the huge gorge that has shaped this part of the Moroccan landscape - not to mention the river that runs through it.
Sadek M — Google review
It is not exactly next door to get there but it is well worth the drive. The Gorges are beautiful and we did not see too many tourists the day we went. You basically can drive or walk through them, it is not very long. Probably a 15 minutes walk to get through them. them. Lots of vendors selling local trinkets if you want some. No ticket needed, free access.

Spectacular 13km loop hike from the gorge up the canyon and down to the far end of the gorge and back. Amazing views and great trails. It goes to a peak at 2060 meters and through Berber camps.
John M — Google review
The Todgha Gorge, located just outside the town of Tinghir in Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, is one of the country’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Carved over centuries by the Todgha River, the gorge is famed for its towering limestone cliffs that reach up to 300 meters in height. Historically, this area served as a passageway between the mountains and the desert, used by local tribes and traders navigating the harsh landscapes of southern Morocco. The gorge presents an awe-inspiring sight, with its narrow passages and sheer rock faces glowing in shades of red and ochre under the Moroccan sun. At its narrowest point, the cliffs close in dramatically, creating a corridor that feels both intimate and majestic. Seasonal streams still run through the base, and the sound of water echoes softly against the stone, intensifying the atmosphere of timeless beauty. Visitors often describe the Todgha Gorge as a place of contrast: dramatic, wild nature existing alongside Berber villages and palm groves. The mix of natural and cultural elements makes the experience unforgettable. Today, the gorge is popular with hikers, photographers, and climbers from all over the world. Its accessibility from Tinghir makes it an easy day trip, and its towering walls remain a challenge for adventurers.
Lefteris S — Google review
The gorge with water is so fantastic, still people lives there, you can climbing, or walking, one to three hours, meet Berbra people and you may invited for tea, but remember to leave tips; Also there are animals like donkey, goats around, roak climbers all over and a lots leftovers. The gorge is generated over thousand year, its gift given to Morocco, must visit if you come
Minna Z — Google review
Absolutely stunning! Todra Gorge is a breathtaking natural wonder that’s well worth the visit. Towering canyon walls rise dramatically on both sides, making you feel tiny in the best way possible. The views are incredible, especially in the early morning or late afternoon when the light hits the cliffs just right. It’s a great spot for a peaceful walk, rock climbing, or just soaking in the scenery. There’s a small river running through the gorge and a few cafés and stalls nearby for a quick break or snack. I can just imagine how much more beautiful it would look if the river was not drying up. A top spot of tourists and locals alike. The road leading in and out is scenic, and it’s an easy stop if you’re driving through the area. Parking is available nearby, and you can walk straight into the heart of the gorge. Definitely one of the highlights of the region — don’t miss it!

The Gorge is beautiful, but the cars and vans that constantly go back and forth ruin the beauty and serenity. But we still enjoyed our walk through.

Dadès Gorges is a stunning natural wonder known for its steep and colorful walls, offering a picturesque drive along a narrow road. The journey to Dadès Gorges from Merzouga passes through the historic desert capital of Sijilmassa and offers opportunities to visit Zawiya Moulay Ali ash-Sharif and explore local markets.

Our journey through the Dades Gorge was an awe-inspiring adventure that left me speechless at every turn. Nestled within the rugged landscapes of Morocco, the gorge revealed its breathtaking beauty as we traversed its winding roads and towering cliffs. Th contrast of vibrant red rock formations against the deep blue sky created a scene straight out of a painting, while the lush greenery that thrived along the riverbanks added a touch of serenity to the dramatic landscape. Exploring the traditional Berber villages nestled within the gorge provided a glimpse into a way of life that felt untouched by time, while encounters with friendly locals left a lasting impression on my heart.

This must be probably the best natural heritage spots from Marocco I ve ever seen so far. The geological environment from here is outstanding and breathless, beyond the expectations. Pure genuine local experience. The colours are very spectacular, the mix between grades of green and stones-earth red, yellow, black to white colour, amazingly combination in a successful compound interest site! A place to enjoy from A to Z, from the beginning to the end of this unique valley!
Flavius — Google review
If you are touring Morocco then please make this one of your stops. I was not sure how impressed we were going to be but I have to say we were very pleasantly surprised by the magnificence of the rocks and vistas on our 3hr hike. It helped that we had a superb guide called Hussain who could not have been more helpful and informative. We stopped over in our campervan at Campsite Oud Oudinar and the owner Ibrahim arranged everything including taxi (himself) and guide. At first I thought it a little expensive (and perhaps it was by local standards) but looking back I would have paid more. Totally worth every dirham!! Shukran!

Exceptional Hospitality and Service Our stay at this accommodation was fantastic. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Our group of nineteen had to find a new place to stay after our original booking was canceled, which was not an easy task. However, the team here was extremely cooperative and secured our booking without requiring any advance payment. We arrived late at night (around 8-9 PM) and were all starving. At that hour, there weren’t many food options available, but the owner went above and beyond to arrange a delicious meal for us—even though the kitchen staff had already gone home. This level of service was truly impressive and greatly appreciated. Overall, the hospitality exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ After a grueling day of motorcycle riding with my son through Morocco, we stumbled upon this incredible hotel. It’s a true gem—spotlessly clean, gorgeously decorated, and the staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming. Exhausted, we didn’t make it to dinner until 8 PM when the kitchen was closing, but the kind team saw our desperation and reopened just for us. They served an amazing meal on a stunning terrace with views over the town. This place was perfect, and I can’t recommend it highly enough!

Friendly staf and the view of the hotel is great (see pictures). The breakfast is nice with tea, coffee, orange juice, bread and jelly’s and a yoghurt, not way too much as we have had in other hotels. The rooms have good functioning airconditioning which is really nice. For our taste, the beds were a bit too hard and the shower had a tiny water jet. A tip I would give people is to make sure they have eaten diner if they arrive at 9PM, because there is no restaurant in a radius of 10 minutes that will serve you food in June/July.

Kasbah des Caïds – A Journey Through Time and Tranquility If you're looking to immerse yourself in Morocco's rich heritage, Kasbah des Caïds is a true hidden gem. Nestled in a peaceful village near Ouarzazate, this historic kasbah offers not just a place to sleep, but an experience that transports you back in time. The architecture is breathtaking – traditional earthen walls, intricately carved wooden doors, and panoramic views of the surrounding palm groves and mountains. Every corner tells a story, and you can truly feel the legacy of the Caid families who once lived there. The hospitality is warm and genuine. The hosts are incredibly knowledgeable about the region's history and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Meals are homemade and delicious, often served in a beautiful courtyard or on the terrace with stunning sunset views. What makes Kasbah des Caïds special is its authenticity. It hasn't been over-modernized – it retains its soul while offering comfort and calm. It's the perfect stop if you're exploring southern Morocco, especially en route to the Draa Valley or the desert. 🕌 Highlights: Authentic historical setting Peaceful atmosphere Delicious local cuisine Personalized hospitality Highly recommended for culture lovers, history buffs, and travelers seeking a quiet, off-the-beaten-path stay in Morocco. 🌄

Nice little stop on the road... If you want to visit you have to pay 20 to the guy at the entrance. A tour guide will charge you 100. They are everywhere and you have to say comfortably no if you don't want one. We enjoyed walking by ourselves

Clean rooms, tasty food, kindness and the incredible architecture of this Kasbah (palace) made one of the best experiences of our trip in Marocco. We did also an guided tour through the Ksar (fortified village), the guide was really well prepered, explaining us history and urban structure of this place. Really recommend for a relaxing time outside the main touristic spots.

The Kasbah on the top of the hill is another one than the one described in the reviews. The one on top of the hill has a nice exterior, but is a site in decay. The Kasbah of Tamnougalt is more interesting to see. This one has some old elements and has been partially restored. We had the pleasure to have a small tour among the different parts of it (Islamic and Jewish) with the possibility of going on the roof. Nice experience.

A fascinating place to wander around, better with a guide who will show you the inside and introduce you to the men constantly renovating this amazing structure. They receive no grant (unlike Ait Ben Haddou) so depend on tourism to help them continue the renovations. Highly recommended.

A magic place - both a musuem as well as a hotel - run by extremely friendly and welcoming people. A unique experience in Morocco and a must in case you are in the area: highly recommended. Moreover, the food is amazing too! Thank you - choukran P.S.: I almost forgot to mention: the Kasbah offers the best view in the area

Kasbah Amridil

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
Kasbah Amridil, located in Skoura on the road to Ouarzazate, is a 1600s walled city that offers an authentic glimpse into traditional life. Visitors can explore bread ovens and witness an oil press while admiring roaming goats. The Kasbah is rich in history and offers guided tours for those interested in learning more about its past. Additionally, the restaurant serves delicious local cuisine.
Insightful local guides provide a glimpse into what life in a kasbah has looked liked a century ago. The peculiar history makes for a unique architecture that reflects local culture and traditions. Use the entrance marked official, there are two never adjacent additions right next to it to the left, and don't miss out on the local guides!

Authentic building: half is a restaurant and rooms and second half is a museum where they saved some old tools and etc. Ticket to get in 40 MAD, guided tour will cost additionally 100 MAD. For us it took ~20min to walk around - quite enough. At the restaurant they do have a coffee machine.

Amazing History and ingenuity with the doors and magnificent locks. Loved seeing the way they built the walls, amazing. Glad it is heritage listed and being maintained for people like me to learn more about how you live life.

Well worth a visit. Exquisitely restored Kasbah with fittings that show how life operated in the 17th century. Would be fantastic to have a ‘ Night at the Kasbah’ where everyone dressed in traditional costumes and had a traditional feast’

Amridil Kasbah, located in the Skoura region of Ouarzazate Province in southern Morocco, is one of the most remarkable historical and architectural landmarks in the area, and indeed in the entire country. The kasbah dates back to the 17th century, during the reign of the Alaouite dynasty, and it served as both a defensive fortress and a residence for the Nekkor family, a prominent and influential lineage in the region. Amridil Kasbah is known for its authentic architectural style, which blends aesthetic beauty with defensive functionality. It was built using rammed earth and straw—materials traditionally used in southern Moroccan construction. The kasbah features square towers, intricate geometric decorations, narrow windows, and finely carved wooden doors. At its center is a large inner courtyard surrounded by numerous rooms, which were used for various purposes including storage, living quarters, and animal shelters. More than just a residential structure, the kasbah was a local seat of power and a strategic site for protecting the inhabitants from invasions and attacks. Over time, it became a symbol of Saharan Moroccan heritage and a major tourist attraction thanks to its well-preserved original form. The kasbah has also appeared in several Moroccan and international films due to its captivating architecture and unique location amidst palm groves. Today, Amridil Kasbah stands as a living example of traditional Moroccan earthen architecture and a source of pride for the local community. It plays a key role in promoting cultural tourism in the region, offering guided tours that highlight its history and construction techniques, as well as cultural events that showcase the rich and diverse Amazigh and Arab heritage of southern Morocco.

Beautiful Kasbah where once a family of 60-80 people lived together. It costed us 40dh per person plus 150dh for the guide. Also I'd recommend checking out a hidden shop behind the kasbah near the restaurant. Found a unique bracelet that turns into a box.

We had a Guide (english language) for our Visit at this Kasbah for additional 50 DH p.P., Entry costs 40 DH p.P. We used the Entry in the Middle, you have to pay again to use the rigjt entry (we did not visited this part) We were guided through the Kasbah and our Guide explained everything in detail and answered additional questions from us and other guests. Very recommended!

A living piece of history, absolutely worth visiting! Kasbah Amridil is one of the most beautiful and well-preserved kasbahs in Morocco. Walking through it feels like stepping back in time, the architecture, the details, and the stories behind every corner are truly fascinating. Our guide was fantastic, bringing the history to life with humor and passion, and showing how people once lived here. You’ll recognize it from the 50-dirham note, but seeing it in person is even more impressive. The views from the top are stunning, and the small museum inside gives a great glimpse into traditional Berber life. Definitely worth a stop if you’re anywhere near Skoura, it’s one of the highlights of the region!

Interesting place but I was asked 50 DM at the end of the 15 minutes tour which I believe is way too much and I have seen in the comments that people before paid 20.
Pin B — Google review
Sorry to say it but this is really a bad museum. Very limited and poor exhibits and 50 dirham per person which is way more than it should cost. The gentleman who owns it is a nice guy, but he should really try to improve the exhibits and he should charge about 20 or 25 dh.

nice little museum to get some background info on traditional lifestyle. The owner takes you arround and tells you lots of interesting stuff.

Undoubtedly, one of Best family holidays together. Linda was absolutely amazing in helping me plan our trip. From the moment we landed at Marrakesh airport we were treated like family by Hssaine (one of the kindest professional drivers I’ve ever met). Whether it was the comfort of the Riads at Fes or Marrakech, personable tour guides, the absolute royalty at the unbelievable Eden boutique hotel in the gorgeous Dades valley, the classiness of Rabat, the magic of Volubilis or the exciting sea front at Casablanca, we felt under a magical spell. Linda personally called into check whether things were alright during the trip. Culinary delights were perfect and abundant. We will never forget the memorable Tiziri camp in the Sahara. It felt like a chapter from the Arabian nights. Thank you Linda and Hssaine for making our trip So very Morocco.

We will be eternally grateful to Linda from So Morocco and her tour guide/driver, Mustafa, for the adventure we had in Morocco. The organisation of the tour was seamless and Linda answered all questions we had, with clear and informative answers. Our tour encompassed ten locations in Morocco, where we were accommodated in delightful riads or dars. This was infinitely more preferable than staying in hotels and enabled us to immerse with the local people. Our wonderful guide was knowledgeable and personable and we became close with him over the fourteen days. Everything was organised so well. We didn’t need to think about any organising, which was a treat. We highly recommend So Morocco and we will miss Morocco dearly, as the tour we had gave us the opportunity to fall in love with the country and it’s wonderful people.

A huge thank you to SO Morocco for a completely unforgettable holiday! We booked a 3 days, 2 nights trip from Marrakesh to Fez via erg Chebbi and would highly recommend it! Incredible sites, a night in the desert under the stars, a charming guide - we could not have asked for a better experience. The SO Morocco team were fantastic from start to finish - even accommodating a change of plan, last minute, after we messed up our travel dates. Hmad, our local contact and an extremely talented musician, made our desert experience at his luxurious desert camp truly magical - and we LOVED our guide, Mustafa. Incredibly knowledgeable and interesting, Mustafa is also a really wonderful person. We could not have wished for a better guide, driver, and now friend, for our trip. We truly felt like we saw the real Morocco (not just the tourist traps) so if you want to explore the amazing country which is Morocco - choose SO Morocco (and Mustafa) and you'll have the most incredible time.

Extremely grateful. I already know this country well enough to not get surprised easily, but the tour that Linda organised have totally changed something in me. I am trying to find the keywords to describe my experience during this week that I have spent travelling with So Morocco...but I surprisingly struggle to find even a suitable one! I saw, heard, touched, listened, tasted, smelled, caressed, observed, meditated, and absorbed, even more, the strength of this country! With no doubts, the most unforgettable experience has been the one in the desert. The peak of all the feelings I had, enclosed in those pastel-coloured dunes and the whispers of the wind. I saw canyons, steppe, dunes, lakes, rivers, mountains. I listened to the wind, to prayers, drums...and the sound of frogs, birds, camels, dogs, cats, donkeys, goats, horses and peacocks. I ate amazing food, unique and also traditional. I walked on earth, on every possible color and shade and consistency. Sandy, dusty, muddy, on stone and on grass. I entered in secret peaceful oasis's and walked through the narrowest and steepest alleyways. I don't know how to describe all that. I haven't enough words, enough poetry in myself. But my senses are satiated. I don't want to eat, see, hear anything new until I digested this feeling, at least partially. Thank you So Morocco for making me fall in love with this magical country for the third time. Thank you for helping me igniting my inspiration <3

Spent 14 days in Morocco on a personal itinerary that SO Morocco helped us build. Best trip ever. Linda listened to what our goals were and delivered in spades. It's obvious they have a well vetted team of guides, drivers and contacts for accommodation and basically anything you wished to attempt. We opted to stay in Riads to fully experience the medinas, souks and people. A couple of cooking classes, a walking food tour and a Hammam rounded out our explorations in 7 different locations. Would not hesitate to recommend this company to friends and family.
Leslie T — Google review
We had one of the most beautiful retreats ever with So Morocco! All the arrangements were smooth and we were just taking in the beauty of the country without the need to do anything else. Main reason why I highly recommend this company is because of that fact. Linda was so helpful, tailoring this trip for us and making us a special itinerary we couldn't find anywhere online. She did an amazing job at coordinating with the drivers, the guides, the hotels and when we got there everyone was informed of our arrival and ready for us. Such an amazing team, will definitely recommend for anyone coming to Morocco. If you're looking for a proper holiday without the need to worry about all the hassle and arrangements, if you're so lost with all the websites online that sell all sort of touristic traps, if you're looking for something special, private and unique with your friends and/or family, make So Morocco on your speed dial and let Linda do her magic.

So Morocco is one of the easiest and best companies to work with. Linda was very helpful throughout the whole planning process, giving us options and listening to our ideas and preferences. Our driver, Hssaine, was amazing! He was very knowledgeable, patient, and had a great sense of humor. All of the organized guides, accommodations, and meals selected for our trip were top notch. We had the trip of a lifetime and So Morocco exceeded our expectations.

We went to Morocco as a family with a 4 year old. Enjoyed every bit of our vacation. So Morocco were very flexible and accomodative. Our guide cum driver Brahim made the journey so comfortable, he made sure to align with our requests for food and travel. Tiziri dessert camp booked by them was top notch. Overall we highly recommend So Morocco.
