Our driver Mohamed arrived exactly in time and was very good all day. The experience was fabulous and this was made easier with such a knowledgeable driver who we felt really wanted to look after us and was very respectful of our requests.
We went for a traditional breakfast in a house which was really interesting and didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. Then we were able to ask the driver to stop for pictures of the mountains wherever we wanted.
We went to an Argan oil cooperative which again was interesting, there is zero pressure to go or purchase but we found the place and products fabulous and made some fabulous purchases. We can stock up online after we have gone home also. The cafe by the river was great with excellent photo opportunities and views.
The trip to the waterfall on our final stop was really lovely with loads of good photo opportunities. The walk up is fine, but would not be suitable for anyone not steady on there feet or not able to manage some larger steps/rocks. We hired a guide for the walk but not really sure it was needed. We went at midday and it was quieter for people but on the way back down it was so much busier. Passing places thin in some places so there was a wait for people going up to go past at certain points, would not have been as good if far more people. There are some shops on the way up to the waterfall and toilets are half way up (closed when we went past) and also a drink cafe at the top but no toilets there.
Overall we loved this trip and would highly recommend. I would highly recommend Mohamed as a driver if you can request.
