Msemrir to Tamtattouchte Piste (Dades-Todra Link)
The direct link between the upper Dades and Todra valleys, used to drive a loop between the two gorges. Paving has advanced from both ends, but a central section of about 24 km still follows a 4x4 track, partly in a wadi bed, across high stony plateaus with nomad camps.
