As the road begins to descend, the scenery changes drastically as suddenly as you enter a desert-like area. Soon, the imposing Kasbah Aït Benhaddou will loom up like a mirage. A kasbah is a kind of citadel, composed of high-walled buildings of clay mixed with straw. At the top of the Kasbah, there is a fantastic view across the surrounding countryside giving you the sense of entering a medieval world. After lunch, set-off on again and drive through the fertile valley to Dades Gorges. Encounter bright green palm valleys and rugged mountain peaks in all shapes and colours alternated by small traditional villages and breathtaking views. When the cliffs begin to get narrower enter a kind of gorge reaching your destination – a small, scenic mountain hotel. Overnight at Kasbah Atlas Dades or similar
