Mides Canyon lies a short drive from Tamerza, beside the border village of Mides. The canyon is narrow and sharply cut, with sheer walls dropping into a dry wadi that twists below the village. From above, the view is excellent: palms, cliff, and the sudden line of the gorge all compressed into a small, powerful landscape.
Most visitors see Mides as part of the same circuit as Tamerza and Chebika. It deserves more than a photo stop. Walk along the rim if conditions are dry, but do not enter the lower canyon after rain or if a guide advises against it. Flash floods here are not theoretical; they are the force that shaped the place.
