R703 is a scenic high mountain road located in the eastern part of the High Atlas Mountains in Morocco.
The road is 83.2km (51.69 miles) long. It runs south-north from R317 Road (near Agoudal, a small mountain town at an elevation of 2.300m-7,545ft above the sea level) to N10 Road (near Tinghir, also known as Tinerhir, a city in the region of Tinghir, south of the High Atlas).
It’s pretty spectacular in parts, running through Todra Gorges (subject to flooding) and climbing up to Tizi-n-Tirherhouzine, a high mountain pass at an elevation of 2.675m (8,776ft) above the sea level (subject to winter closures). The gorge requires a careful driving (water flows over the road) in the rain. The road was fully asphalted in 2014. Do not travel this road in severe weather conditions.
