The Dadès Gorges (Arabic: وادي دادس‎, romanized: wādī dādis; French: Gorges du Dadès, pronounced [ɡɔʁʒ(ə) dy dadɛs]) are a series of rugged wadi gorges carved out by the Dadès River in Morocco.[1] The river originates in the High Atlas range of the Atlas mountains, flowing some 350 kilometres (220 mi) southwest before joining the Draa River at the edge of the Sahara.[1] The many-colored walls of the gorges range anywhere from 200 to 500 meters (650 to 1600 feet).[1]
