Most people come here, take a photo of the huge canyon and leave. But there is much more behind these mountains.
Walk away from the road and you find small farms where local families still work the land as they have done for generations.
This region also has the tradition of the Wedding of the Quran, a celebration for young people who complete the memorisation of the Quran.
Tinghir and the Todra Valley also have a long Jewish history. Jewish and Muslim Amazigh families lived in this area for generations, and their history is still part of the valley today.
Higher in the mountains, some Amazigh nomadic families still live a very simple life in caves. When we visit them, we don’t just stop for a picture. We sit with them, talk, drink tea and learn about their life.
This is the Morocco I love showing my travelers.
Not only the famous places, but the people, the history and the stories you would never know were there.
