The van slips out of Marrakech before the city heat arrives, headlights picking out roadside olive groves as the High Atlas drops into rolling red cliffs. By the time the road winds into the hamlet of Tanaghmeilt, the sound of falling water becomes a presence — not distant, but insistently close. Ouzoud Falls announces itself in a cloud of mist and a green corridor: a river daring you to follow it to the lip of a 110‑meter cascade.
