Exceptional not to be missed - With the guide Mohammed Moujane we arrived at the Todra Gorges after crossing the valley…. palm groves and lots of greenery .. then suddenly the canyon … incredible lights and colors you walk through these big red walls and you are breathless. An experience not to be missed that I highly recommend.
