Morning light lifts off Marrakech and a private minivan hums toward the High Atlas. Roads thread through ochre fields and stone hamlets; terraces step up the hills like agricultural shelves. The guide points out Ait Mizan and Targa as villages that still rely on seasonal orchards and spring-fed irrigation.

Hydrate for mountain air
Carry at least 1–2 liters of water and sip regularly—altitude and sun dry you out faster than in the city.

Wear closed-toe hiking shoes or trail sneakers for rocky, sometimes slippery stone paths on the waterfall hike.
