We came across this place by accident whilst stopping for a coffee, but I'm really glad we did, it was phenomenal. It's a spectacular rock formation. From the road you can't see anything, but if you go down a path even just a little way on foot you can see it well. It's much bigger than it first looks - you need to see someone walking down in the bottom of the canyon to get a scale for how huge it is. There's a really nice walking loop you can do down to the bottom, underneath the bridge and back up the other side, which is marked by red arrows painted on the rocks. But it is further than it looks and includes a bit of scrambling so take some water and make sure you have good footwear. The cafes by the road at the top are quite expensive but the actual bridge itself is very much worth a visit.

Really enjoyed visiting here. It also gives you chance to see some of the real Morocco. The bridge itself is an amazing natural formation. At the moment they are building steps down both sides and you can see both sides using these. If you want to down one side through and up the other, you need to be fit, confident on rocks, have good footwear and preferably have a local guide to help. This is well worth doing but slippy and dangerous. I got some fantastic pictures going through. As I said, well worth doing if you like natural marvels. It takes about half hour to do the whole thing, so only worth visiting if you are going to Ouzoud Falls, as you can do it on the way back.

Le Pont naturel d’Imi N’Ifri Le Pont naturel d’Imi N’Ifri est un site naturel remarquable situé à 6 km de la ville de Demnate. c’est une curiosité touristique qui mérite le détour . Intérêt touristique le pont naturel d’Imi N’Ifri est une arche naturelle d’une hauteur de 30 mètres. L’Assif (l’oued en berbère) Tisslit a creusé dans le calcaire un ‘foum‘ (bouche) particulier . Le nom de « Imi ‘n‘ Ifri » signifie en berbère La « bouche de la grotte » . Cette forme d’érosion a pris la forme d’ un pont naturel au dessus de l’oued Tisslit. Le site d’Imi N’ifri constitue une curiosité géo morphologique unique au Maroc où de nombreux oiseaux trouvent refuge. Il est l’un des sites les plus visités de la région de Demnate. L’accès y est facile et la région connaît l’émergence d’une offre d’accueil de plus en plus diversifiée. Intérêt écologique et géologique Le Géoparc du M’Goun annonce l’histoire de Du pont d’Imminifri comme suit : « L’oued M’haceur, torrent tumultueux en période de crue, a creusé de profondes entrailles dans les formations du Jurassique inférieur jusqu’aux formations salines du Trias. Beaucoup plus tard, probablement au cours de la période du Pliocène, les sources d’eau douce et les nombreuses cascades ont formé des dépôts de travertins tellement importants qu’ils ont pu unir les deux rives de l’oued M’haceur, constituant ainsi une magnifique arche d’une hauteur de 30 mètres. » Le site du pont naturel d’Iminifri est classé comme Site d’Intérêt Biologique et Écologique (SIBE) Il est le lieu d’une importante biodiversité faunistique et floristique regroupant 172 espèces. Situation et accès Le site est situé à 6km au au delà de la ville de Demnate sur une route traversant le haut atlas vers Sekoura (Ouarzazate). Le site relève du territoire de la ville de Demnate dans la commune rurale de Tifni.

Absolutely wonderful nature walk through a gorge. We did the hour long trek with a guide (Jamal), who we agreed to pay 50MAD and ended up paying 100 because he was fabulous. Highly recommend you don’t do this without a guide as the walk is treacherous in places and takes you along paths you would never imagine it could. Wear good shoes and prepare to be amazed and astounded.

A quiet place that remembers us the beauty of nature and the greatness of Allah. There are places where you can have lunch especially a rabbit Tajine. It's a place where you can adventure and go under the cave to experience something new. Foreigners know this place especially french people they visited and worked there.

Great natural cave and waterfall. Not too commercialised, but exploited by the "so called" parking attendants and "tourist guides". You can do the walk yourself easily. Food availability poor and hygiene not great, but still worth the journey.
