Beware if you have mobility issues
We booked this through our Riad. The staff told us it was an easy 10.minute walk to the waterfalls. The brochure says it is wheelchair accessible. When we got there a local guide got on the bus k ew yhe driver, and told us it was a 45 minute walk each way. Because of our infirmities there was no way we could do it so had to stay st the restaurant. We waited 3 hours for the others to return. None were happy, they said the trek was not worth it and the waterfalls pretty small. There were a young couple with a very small infant in a sling who struggled to climb over rocks. They also had to pay the guide. The food at the restaurant was 120 durhams for a 3 course meal we did not want and when delivered was cold. No snacks or sandwiches were available. However it was a pleasant drive to and from but would not have done it if we had known.

"Very nice experience.
The driver was amazing, very good driving, clear explanations. Sanitary standards were met.
We had an appointment at 9:30mm for a day excursion to the valley and the mountains of the atlas.
On the way he dropped us off at a place with a beautiful view of the Ourika Valley and another stop at a women's cooperative for argan oil that explain the process behind this product and offers many argan products. Then, once in the village of sidi fatna. He advised us a guide for a tour of the waterfalls which went very well!
Thank you again for this day.

Excellent shared experience
A perfect day trip to the atlas valley.
Our day out with Mohamed exceeded our expectations. From the camels to the small hike to the waterfalls, all were great. The food was crazy, by far the best we had in Morocco. Very friendly family, amazing location with great views. The amount of things we got to experience in one day was incredible.
Thanks a lot

Nice Day trip
A breath of mountain air with immersion in Berber culture
Superb day in the Atlas with Abdul. Immersion in Berber culture with an excellent typical lunch at a Berber family and walk along the stream to cool off at the waterfalls. I highly recommend trekmarrakech.com .
Thank you for your attention and support with our family.
