The notebook of Tinghir and the Todra Gorges
Take a break above the everyday.
Tinghir is linked to an irrigated oasis at the foot of the High Atlas. As the Todra gorges climbed up the river, they tightened the landscape between high limestone walls. Aït Hani continues the route to mountain areas, which requires a distinction between visiting the canyon and higher hiking and travelling.

General presentation
Tinghir and the Todra Gorges
Tinghir is linked to an irrigated oasis at the foot of the High Atlas. As the Todra gorges climbed up the river, they tightened the landscape between high limestone walls. Aït Hani continues the route to mountain areas, which requires a distinction between visiting the canyon and higher hiking and travelling.
The discovery of Tinghir and the gorges of Todra revolves around Gorges du Todra, Tinghir and his oasis and Aït Hani. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, riverscapes, countryside and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 4 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: check the road to Aït Hani and the flood conditions; climbing routes require suitable supervision and equipment. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. However, some sites require more walking, elevation or preparation.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature
Todra Gorges
Todra Gorges, also transcribed todgha, are limestone canyons north of Tinghir. Their high walls frame the oued and make up a spectacular landscape, whose discovery must distinguish walking, hiking and climbing.
Nature
Tinghir et son oasis
Tinghir is linked to an oasis stretched along the Todgha. An irrigation network supports crops under palm trees; this inhabited landscape is a step in its own right, in addition to the passage through the gorges.
Walk
Aït Hani
Aït Hani is a rural municipality in the province of Tinghir, Drâa-Tafilalet. It belongs to the mountain extension of the Todra route; the discovery requires specifying the village or villages concerned rather than the whole municipality.
