Dades Valley
Dades Gorge Hairpins runs Boumalne Dades to Msemrir in Dades Valley, Morocco. The road is at its best before the first coaches arrive, so staying within a few minutes of the start is worth more than a smarter hotel an hour away. Check the season before you book. Flash floods after rain.
