You leave Marrakech at first light and the road unfolds—olive terraces and low Atlas foothills sliding past the van windows as the city’s heat gives way to cooler mountain air. After 2.5–3 hours you arrive at Ouzoud, where the river gathers itself and pushes the water over a series of cliffs, dropping roughly 110 meters in stepped cascades that send spray and rainbows into the air.
