Nice path up the mountain, not that hard to trek Only take an hour or so Nice local shops along the way You may find fresh walnuts scattered on the floor from the trees The actual waterfall has a nice shop with drinks and a restaurant with tagine. There are toilets there as well

Worst tour company we have ever travelled with. Muhammad who was our hiking guide led us down a very steep and dangerous path which we as experienced hikers (I have been to Everest Base Camp) found life-threatening. Hassan was our driver-guide to the Sahara Desert and he made us feel so unsafe we had to leave the tour and make our own way back to Marrakesh. Would not recommend this tour company to anyone!
