Route of Caravans
A few photos from our trek through the Draa Valley and Dades Gorge, in route to the High Atlas Mountains…
PUBLISHED May 14, 2014
In the days after our adventure in the Sahara, the sciroccos continued to blow a notable fog of sand around the foot of the Draa Valley. We were ready to beeline towards the High Atlas and escape the dust. But first we had to take the long dirt track that meanders up the Draa, following the river and a continuous wave of green palm oasis. The same route followed by caravans from the Sahara centuries before. From there we would take a combination of buses to get us to a town beneath the Dades Gorge, where we’d start our trek. Here are a few photos from our time in the Draa and a couple from the Dades.
