A gravel ribbon of road unwinds from Marrakech at dawn and the Atlas Mountains shrug back into the distance. By midmorning the land has changed — olive groves flank the highway, villages with flat-roofed houses appear, and the sound of rushing water becomes a punctuation in the valley. You step out near the rim and the falls announce themselves not all at once but in tiers: a series of cataracts dropping from a rugged plateau into a green basin below, spray catching the sun like a fine misted veil.
