Despite a 2.5-3 hour drive from Marrakech in a minibus on some pretty 'interesting' roads (do take travel sickness pills if you need to!), this was worth every second of possible discomfort. Plus, the drive encompasses some beautiful scenery, not least of which was and the snow-topped Atlas Mountains. Please, PLEASE, wear sturdy, sensible shoes; you will need them.
Trust me when I tell you to begin your visit from the entrance on the right hand side of the tarmaced area at the entrance, down a few steps and over a small watercourse - you'll find the whole route far easier to negotiate: rough path down, steps back up. And you'll be glad of those steps!
We visited after a period of rain, which gave the falls plenty of volume, and made the water a spectacular reddy-orange colour. If you go the way I told you, you'll be starting your visit right at the top of the falls and have the most astonishing view down them, and to the bottom of the gorge.
From there you will follow a paved path downwards, with several other viewpoints to see the falls. As you go down the paved path, look in the cliffs on the left hand side - you'll see Troglodyte caves. Take your time; the path ceases to be paved after a while, and that's where it gets very steep and winding as it takes you right down to the bottom of the gorge.
At the bottom you'll see boats which can accommodate 10 people, and cost 20 dirhams each - worth it, for the poor souls who have to row them! (which you pay on the other side). The boats take you right to the bottom of the falls, so expect to get very wet from the spray! They then take you to the opposite shore, where you begin to climb back up to the top of the gorge.
On the way up, there are steps; they are paved but very wet and muddy, so take care. There's a platform off to the left where you can get a different view of the falls. Nearer the top still, there are monkeys, which you can feed if you buy peanuts. These are wild monkeys: they will jump on you, and if you try to stroke them they will bite.
If you want to stop and eat, I'd advise waiting until you get almost back to the very top, and stop at the Chez Mounir Restaurant and Cafe. The food is absolutely amazing, the service wonderful, and nothing is too much trouble. We had bread and olives, a large bottle of water, Pepsi, a rice and vegetable salad, large tagines, fresh fruit salad, a sweet cake and mint tea, all for 100 dirhams! Astonishingly good value.

One of the best experiences of my life.
This is simply amazing I do not have words to describe this experience.
You have beautiful views and lot do see.
Take with you a swimming costume or swimming shorts because you will have plenty of spots that you can enjoy some baths with pure argon underneath your feet.
You will have an opportunity to go in a boat almost underneath the waterfall for so little as 20 dirhams. Take comfortable clothes and foot wear with you because you will get dirty.
You will have the opportunity to have a monkey attached to you but be aware because you need to give a small contribution in money to the guys.

Visited during our trip through the Atlas Mountains the bridge is a natural rock formation created by the flow of water down the mountainside the formation can be seen from below by steps down to the river side there are many interesting stalactites with birds roosting among them at one point the birds were disturbed and it was like a scene from a Hitchcock movie. The top of the bridge affords stunning views of the valley below worth a visit if you are passing through.

We had fun climbing the mountain. We had five days of acclimatization on M'Goun first which really helped. It's a long way down and out to the village so you might consider making it a three day trip. We camped but I hear the mountain hut is quite nice.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this lovely fortress atop a mountain after exploring the beautiful garden and water falls below. Beni Mellal turned out to be an amazing city in the midst of rich agricultural lands and miles of olive groves and pomegranate trees. I was there during the pomegranate harvest and was amazed at the huge ripe delicious fruits. I met a camel by the castle who was not pleased with me standing next to her. She was pregnant and not in the mood to be ridden but I got some good shots of her when her owner stood her up andshe was reassured of his presence.
