History
The falls sit in an area shaped by Berber agriculture and Middle Atlas watercourses; nearby villages have long managed terraced olive groves and small-scale mills.
Conservation
Avoid feeding wildlife and pack out trash; water quality and habitat pressures increase with visitor numbers, so follow marked paths and support local businesses that use sustainable practices.

Wear grippy footwear
Stone steps and river spray make surfaces slippery; trail-running shoes or light hiking boots improve stability on the descent and return climb.
Bring cash for the market and tips
Small vendors, boat operators, and local guides typically accept only cash — Moroccan dirham — and smaller bills for purchases.
Hydrate and pace the climb
Carry at least 1–1.5 liters of water; the return involves a sustained uphill on uneven steps that can feel strenuous in heat.
Watch wildlife but don’t feed monkeys
Barbary macaques are curious and bold; keep distance, secure belongings, and avoid feeding to protect animals and visitors.
Sturdy trail shoes
Provide traction on wet stone steps and uneven trails down to the base of the falls.
Daypack with water bladder or bottles
Keeps hydration, snacks, and camera gear accessible during the hike and viewpoints.
Light rain shell
Protects from waterfall spray and unpredictable spring showers on the plateau.

Sunscreen and a hat
