vallée des Roses Holidays

The valley of the Dadès wadi is today called the valley of roses by tourists, a romantic name, but one which doesn't necessarily describe that well what you'll actually see.

The valley of the Dadès wadi is today called the valley of roses by tourists, a romantic name, but one which doesn't necessarily describe that well what you'll actually see.

My suggestion

The festival of roses takes place on the first weekend of May. It's worth seeing if you're lucky enough to be there at that time of year, with its songs and Berber dances.

Situated in the Valley of Dades, the Valley of the Roses stretches for 30 kilometres from the village of El-Kelaâ M'Gouna to the village of Boutharar, at the foot of the Atlas.

My suggestion

If you wish to see the production of rose water, visit the distillery of the Rose Kasbah at Hdida, 7 kilometres from El-Kelaâ M'Gouna.

The valley of roses, the name given to the Dadès valley due to the many rosebushes dotted around the surroundings of the wadi, is one of the most beautiful natural areas in Morocco.

My suggestion

During the month of May, when the roses are harvested, the traditional rose festival (moussem) begins, with its many celebrations and concerts, and everywhere, the beautiful scent of rose petals.
