You step out of the air‑conditioned van and the valley exhales—warm, fragrant air rolling off palm fronds and sun‑warmed rock. A narrow river threads through stone basins, each pool glassy and daring you to cool off. Guides point out worn footpaths that lead between palms, shady groves and sudden panoramas of the Atlas foothills.

Hydrate early
Start with at least 1–1.5 L of water and top up before the walk—shops are limited once you leave the road.
Wear grippy footwear
Expect slick rock near pools and loose scree on viewpoints—low hiking shoes or trail runners are best.
Sun protection matters
Bring wide‑brim hat and reef‑safe sunscreen; shade is patchy once you leave the palms.

Book a morning slot for cooler temperatures and brighter light; afternoons can be busier with tour groups.
