We turned right for the first coffee of the day to Rich, a \u2013 not so rich \u2013 average town of Middle Atlas. There, a local guy, Mohammed, changed our minds: <em>\u201cyou have to go around Atlas, not from the main road, and I will come with you\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t take him with us but we used his schedule and handmade road book. Actually we headed to Imilchil \u2013 135 km. to southwest where there is a special fiesta on September: berber women go out and choose on the market their future husbands!<\/p>\n<p>Late noon we arrived there and we drove up to the lakes north of the town, at 2.300 mt. altitude. Going back \u2013 after a visit to the berber manufacturers of carpets, we drove on gravel on a very rough road till <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dad\u00e8s_Gorges\">Dades gorge<\/a>. For 78 km. we needed nearly 4 hours! Vula was afraid for a while when there was no real road at some parts\u2026 At the magnificent gorge, where nomads can show you how they cattle, we found a Kasbah style Auberge to overnight. Today it was a great, adventurous day, by all means!<em><strong>_A.Temperidis<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Thursday 24\/5\/2007, 11:45 pm, Total km: 4.774, day km: 390, Overnight: Kasbah de Vallee, Dades gorge, Morocco. Tip of the day: If yhou don\u2019 have a cadeu (gift) for the children running behind your car, at least slow down and salute them. Highlight of the day; Vula sewing a carpet with berber ladies in Imilchil.<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s been a long day, today, and we had the first offroad experience of our trip&#8230; &nbsp;From cold Midelt, we headed towards Er-Rachidia and after 90 kms.
