You leave Marrakech’s ochre walls before sunrise and the road climbs toward the High Atlas, the air sharpening with cedar and river dampness. The Ourika River threads the valley below, rushing past terraced fields and lowstone Berber homes; children wave from the roadside and men in wool djellabas herd goats along stepped tracks. The trail to the Seven Waterfalls begins as a riverside footpath, then steepens into stone steps that climb toward narrow gorges and a sequence of cool cascades.

Suitable for travelers in general good health; involves steady walking with some short climbs—no advanced fitness required.
