Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech

Your Ouzoud Falls day trip commences with a departure from your accommodation in Marrakech at 8:00 am. We then embark on a scenic 3-hour drive through the spectacular Atlas Mountains foothills. The falls are located north of Marrakech, in the charming village of Tanaghmeilt. On our way to Ouzoud Waterfalls, we will drive past vast fields of olive trees as we get closer to our destination. The falls will become visible from a distance – this view alone is rather spectacular!

When we arrive at Ouzoud Falls, you will notice that the well-maintained walking paths extend up towards the top of the falls and down around the water streams and pools below. You can also choose to go for a refreshing swim in the natural swimming pools of the Ouzoud Cascade (seasonal and at your own discretion). Or, if you are feeling brave enough, you can join the locals and jump off the high cliffs into the water below!

After a pleasant morning exploring the different levels of the falls and enjoying the cool mist, you'll have free time for a traditional Moroccan lunch at your leisure in one of the local cafes or restaurants. Many of these are picturesquely situated in the sheltering bosom of the Ouzoud Falls, offering lovely views while you dine.

Thereafter, you can go back to explore the top of the falls. Here, you might possibly come across families of Barbary macaques (monkeys), who are accustomed to tourists and will likely welcome you in their own playful way! This is a great opportunity for photos and observing these native primates in their natural habitat.

Finally, your memorable day trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls will end as we begin our journey back to Marrakech. The driver will drop you off at your hotel or Riad in Marrakech in the late afternoon.
