Embark on an Unforgettable Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech

Your incredible journey begins at 8:00 AM with a comfortable pickup from your riad or hotel in Marrakech. Settle in for a scenic 140 km (85-mile) drive through authentic Berber villages, vast olive groves, and picturesque valleys, leading you to the heart of the Azilal Province. This region is home to the enchanting Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of Morocco’s most spectacular and best-kept natural secrets.

Towering over 110 meters (360 feet), these magnificent cascades tumble into a dramatic gorge carved by the El-Abid River. The result is a lush, green oasis surrounded by stunning red rock cliffs. The name "Ouzoud" fittingly means "olive" in the Berber language, a nod to the ancient olive trees that blanket the surrounding slopes. This rich ecosystem is also home to diverse wildlife, including troops of playful Barbary macaques.

Your expert, English-speaking driver/guide will share fascinating insights about the region's culture and natural history as you explore the area at your own pace. This day promises an authentic and unforgettable Moroccan experience.
