Todra Gorge Road: Tinghir to Tamtattouchte

Added on 14 Oct 2026
Logged by @trailx

From Tinghir the road runs up the palm-filled Todra valley for about 14 km to the Todra (Todgha) gorge, where high limestone walls close in around the river. Beyond the narrows the road continues north up the valley to the Berber village of Tamtattouchte.

General Instructions

About 34 km one way. The road through the narrows runs next to the riverbed and should only be driven when it is dry; avoid it after heavy rain because of flash floods. Morning light is best in the gorge.
