Todra Gorge Rim Walk to Tizgui
A half-day walk that climbs out of the northern end of the Todra gorge onto the desert plateau above it, crosses past nomad shelters, and descends to the village of Tizgui at the southern entrance of the gorge; most walkers return along the valley floor to make a loop. It gives views down into the gorge and over the Todra palm grove.
