Excellent for families. Under 4 free, 4–11 half price. The waterfall path is not suitable for pushchairs.
Easy day out; the walk to the first waterfall takes about 30 minutes over uneven rocks. · Best February to June when the river is full. Snow can close the higher road in winter; August is busy with local visitors.
- How long is the waterfall walk?
- About 45–60 minutes each way over rocky terrain. Trainers or walking shoes are recommended, and the pace is set by your group.
- Is the trip suitable for children?
- Yes. Families join every day — the drive is around 1h15 each way and children can stop at the first waterfall while others continue.
- Where do we eat?
- You have free time at the riverside restaurants of Setti Fatma, where tables sit right beside the water. Lunch is not included so you pay only for what you order.
- When do we get back to Marrakech?
- Typically between 17:00 and 18:00, with drop-off at your hotel or riad.
