French television presenter Samira El Gadir took viewers through southern Morocco in a segment broadcast on TF1's Sunday evening news on August 9, 2026.
El Gadir has spent her summers in the region since she was very young. The segment follows her through the Dadès Valley, along the well-known Route of a Thousand Kasbahs, where ancestral fortresses stand amid palm groves.
Gorges and the Valley of Roses
El Gadir also shows viewers gorges with steep cliffs before heading to the Valley of Roses, where the flower appears in many different forms. Alongside the scenery, she recounts a family story tied to the region.
The report, titled "La Vallée des Roses de Samira," was produced by TF1info's video editorial team and aired as part of the channel's Sunday 8pm news program, running 42 minutes and 23 seconds.
