A Two hours out from Ouarzazate in the heart of the Dades valley (27 kilometres up from Boumalne du Dades), between Valley of Roses, the palm grove of Tinerir and Todra gorges, Kasbah de La Vallée is a small hotel-restaurant ideally located at the entrance of the Dades gorges. Just over the Dades river, it offers a wonderful panoramic view over the oued, the silver poplars and the entrance of the awesome Dades gorges where you can still encounter many nomads living there with their herds.

The Dades Valley and gorges are an exceptional landscape; the Dades never dries and so runs through the whole year in the gorges, pleasantly cooling them in the summer. This hotel is in front of a small creek where the nomads regularly come. You can take breakfast on the terrace and then later take walk among the small wheat parcels, the fruit trees, have a picnic, you’ll come back in the evening in the hotel for a dinner enlightened by local musicians and the sound of the dimdouns. Recently redecorated, Kasbah de La Vallée was one of the first hotels in the Dades gorges. Hammou and Mohammed Sahbi, the owners, created a welcoming hotel, simple and comfortable, where you feel treated like a friend. The food, traditional Moroccan, is generous and delicious. The whole team of hotel “La Kasbah de La Vallée” will make its very best for you, with the kindness that is a characteristic of Moroccan hospitality. You can make a short stop, for a lunch, or a night during your trip in Morocco, or stay a few days to enjoy the Dades and the country of the Thousand Kasbahs.

Accommodation: The hotel is decorated according to the moroccan tradition, with patterns and colours typical of the south. 40 rooms equipped with a large comfortable bed and a bathroom with shower and WC. They are split over the two levels of the hotels. Rooms with a view over the Dades also have a large private balcony where you can sit to enjoy the landscape. A large number of rooms have air-conditioning, which can be reversed as heating. All of them can receive an extra heater in the winter if required.

Suites for families
Kasbah de la Vallée has two suites which can host 5 to 6 people. These suites have two bedrooms, one of them also has a fireplace and an extra large bathroom.

Facilities:For your meals, you can choose between the Moroccan restaurant, with its two traditional lounges and a large fireplace, or the terrace over the river. One of the pleasures of the Dades is its coolness at night, making it a particularly popular destination for the summer. For your lunch or your dinner, Kasbah de la Vallee offers traditionnal Moroccan menus, and a few European dishes. They have a license to sell alcohol, so you can have beer or local wines with your meal.  Inside the hotel, the Moroccan restaurant, with fireplace, and Moroccan lounges can seat 90 guests with 30 more on each of the terrace and balcony

The Dades region is know for the beauty and diversity of its landscapes. With the river Dades, the valley is always green. The gorges are narrow, high and impressive. It is possible to go directly to Todra gorges by the piste road, via M'semrir and Tamtatouchte (but please check ahead for the condition of the road). The area is known for its bio-diversity; it is also scattered with kasbahs, hence the name of road of the Thousand Kasbahs

By foot, you can go for a hike, the Dades valley is an area with cultures, orchards, wheat, corn, etc. You can walk along the plots and gardens, fig and olive trees mix with silver poplars, one of the emblematic trees of the valley. You will be with a professional mountain guide, and, when leaving for several days, with mules for your bags. With a 4WD they can help you discover the main sites of the area. And if you feel like training your legs they have moutain bikes to rent.

Defensive architecture, which was justified in the times of constant war between the tribes, a kasbah is a large squared building, with thick strong walls, very often with four towers at the angles. Inside were the quarters of one or more families, the servants, a granaries, and room enough for the cattle when necessary. The most important tribe is called Ait Sedrat, but these nomads settled some time ago. It is in part still unreachable by a normal car that the last nomads, of the Ait Hadidous tribe, live. Their main resources are their herds (lambs, goats and camels), and the profit made from selling the wool.

Stunning views across the Dades valley from most parts of the hotel, sit back and enjoy the scenery of the lush river valley, deserted kasbahs and hillside villages.
