Day Trip to Ouzoud Falls from Marrakech

Overview

Experience the Beauty of Morocco’s Tallest Waterfalls on a Full-Day Tour

Escape the heat and chaos of the city with a refreshing day trip to Ouzoud Falls—one of the most stunning natural attractions in Morocco. Just 2.5 hours from Marrakech, this full-day excursion takes you deep into the Middle Atlas Mountains, where cascading falls, lush scenery, and playful monkeys await.

Itinerary

Morning Departure from Marrakech

Start your day with a scenic drive through olive groves, Berber villages, and dramatic landscapes. The road to Ouzoud Waterfalls is full of natural beauty and offers photo-worthy stops along the way.

Upon arrival, your driver will give you free time or the option to hire a local guide for a full walk around the falls.


Discover the Majestic Ouzoud Waterfalls

Standing over 110 meters (360 feet) high, the falls tumble into a series of green pools and rocky basins. You’ll hear the roar of the water before you even see it.

Walk down the trail that winds through olive trees and stop at panoramic viewpoints for breathtaking photos.


Things to Do at Ouzoud Falls

Hike to the Bottom
Trek down to the base of the falls and feel the mist on your face. It’s an easy hike, but wear good shoes for the uneven paths.

Take a Traditional Boat Ride
Hop on a small wooden raft to get up close to the falls. It’s a fun and refreshing way to experience their power.

Meet the Local Barbary Apes
As you explore, you’re likely to encounter Barbary macaques, friendly monkeys that often play in the trees. Keep your snacks hidden!

Enjoy a Riverside Lunch
Dine at a local restaurant with a view of the waterfalls. Try a delicious tagine or Moroccan salad while listening to the sound of rushing water.


Free Time to Relax and Explore

After lunch, enjoy some quiet time by the river. You can swim in the natural pools if weather permits or just relax under the trees.

There are also small cafes and souvenir stalls where you can grab a mint tea or shop for local handicrafts.


Return to Marrakech

In the late afternoon, you’ll begin your return journey to Marrakech. The peaceful drive back is a great time to reflect on the beautiful sights and sounds of the day.

Drop-off at your accommodation by early evening.
