Marrakech - Ouzoud Waterfalls - Marrakech

Just 170 km from Marrakech, you can enjoy a wonderful day trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in North Africa. On sunny days, you can even see rainbows around the falls!

We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Marrakech around 08:00 AM and start driving north to Ouzoud. Along the way, you’ll pass through peach, apricot, and olive farms, as well as traditional Berber villages.

Once we arrive in Ouzoud, you’ll go on a scenic hike through the village and nearby olive groves. You’ll enjoy the fresh air, green valley views, and the sound of the waterfall. Then, we’ll walk down a path from the top to the bottom of the waterfall. This part can be a bit challenging, but it’s worth it! You’ll see the water crashing down from 100 meters high, creating a stunning view—often with a rainbow in the middle.

As you walk down, you might see friendly Barbary apes who are used to visitors and may even ask for some nuts. At the bottom of the waterfall, you can relax, take photos, swim, or enjoy a short boat ride close to the falls. You’ll also have the chance to eat lunch at a local restaurant near the stream.

Ouzoud excursion

This trip is one of the things to do if you are thinking to escape from the crowd of Marrakech for a day. We had Ahmed as our guide who was informative and so kind. This day trip is not recommended for old people or people with back problems or walking difficulties.

Lovely experience

We joined Morocco Excursions on a day tour to Ouzoud last month and all I can say that they were good, the day trip was such a great experience. My only concern is that walking downhill and up was tough and not that easy.

Fabulous

This excursion was one of the best experiences we had while visiting Morocco. The trek through the Berber village was lovely. We didn’t have the chance to see the monkey because there were a lot of tourists, so my advice is not to go on the high season, otherwise, the guides were helpful, friendly and the scenery was fabulous.
