Your day trip to Ouzoud Waterfalls from Marrakech begins with a morning pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech (typically around 8:00 AM). We’ll embark on a scenic drive east towards the Middle Atlas Mountains. The journey takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours, passing through picturesque landscapes of rolling hills, olive groves, and charming Berber villages, offering glimpses into rural Moroccan life.

You’ll have ample time to explore the area at your own pace. Begin by walking down the well-maintained paths that lead to the base of the falls, stopping at various viewpoints along the way to capture stunning photographs of the multi-tiered cascades.
As you descend, keep an eye out for the resident Barbary macaque monkeys that often gather near the paths, accustomed to visitors.

At the bottom of the falls, you’ll have the option to take a short, refreshing boat ride on the natural pools, allowing you to get incredibly close to the powerful cascades and feel the mist on your face – a truly immersive experience.
Lunch will be enjoyed at one of the many charming local restaurants overlooking the waterfalls, offering delicious traditional Moroccan cuisine with a spectacular backdrop. After a relaxing break, you’ll have more time to explore or simply relax and soak in the tranquil atmosphere before making the ascent back to the top.
In the late afternoon, after a full day of natural beauty and exploration, we will begin our comfortable drive back to Marrakech.
