The Dadès River rises in the High Atlas and flows south through the Dadès Gorges before turning west between the High Atlas and Anti-Atlas mountain ranges. The river eventually joins the Ouarzazate River, which flows into the Draa River.

The river makes the valley lush and green, while the surrounding area is rocky desert. There are still simple communities living in traditional houses here. Women can be seen washing laundry in the river and drying it on the nearby bushes.

The Dadès River's flow rate is highly seasonal, with peak flows occurring from January to April as a result of heavy precipitation and subsequent snowmelt.
