A massive limestone trench in the High Atlas Mountains where vertical walls rise 300 metres while the canyon floor narrows to just 10 metres; carved by the Todra and Dades rivers over millennia; walk the floor of the gorge at noon; the temperature drops significantly as the sheer rock faces block the desert sun; the sound of the icy river rushing over moss-slicked basalt boulders is deafening in the narrowest sections.
