Overview
Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech
The Ouzoud Waterfalls day trip is a private one-day excursion from Marrakech to the highest waterfalls in Morocco, about two and a half to three hours by car each way. You walk down to the falls through olive groves, see the monkeys and can take a boat ride below the falls, then return to Marrakech the same day. The price is on request.
The Ouzoud Waterfalls fall about 110 metres over red cliffs in the Middle Atlas, and are one of the most photographed places in Morocco. A path through olive groves leads down to the falls and to viewpoints along the way.
You can walk to the bottom, eat lunch at a terrace with a view of the water, and take a small boat to get close to the spray. Barbary macaques live around the falls, so keep an eye on your snacks.
It is a long day, with about three hours of driving each way, so we start early. We adapt the pace to your group and tell you what to wear and bring.
