Take a break from the vibrant energy of Marrakech with a serene full-day excursion to the stunning Ouzoud Falls, one of Morocco’s most impressive natural attractions. Located near the picturesque Grand Atlas village of Tanaghmeilt in the Azilal province, this dramatic waterfall is surrounded by lush greenery and traditional Berber villages.
Your adventure begins with a convenient pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. After a relaxing journey in an air-conditioned minibus, sit back and enjoy the scenic drive as you pass through charming towns and villages of the Grand Atlas. You’ll have the opportunity to witness the authentic way of life in this region, with its rustic mud-brick houses and ancient olive groves lining the roadsides.
As you approach the Ouzoud Falls, the sight of the cascading waters tumbling down the rugged cliffs will take your breath away. Spend approximately four hours immersed in the natural beauty of the falls. The area is teeming with wildlife, so keep an eye out for playful Barbary apes that are often seen frolicking nearby. The crystal-clear waters of the falls offer a perfect opportunity for a refreshing swim, so don’t forget your swimsuit!
For those seeking a more unique experience, you can opt to take a boat ride under the falls. This optional activity provides an up-close view of the thundering water and surrounding landscape—a fantastic way to capture unforgettable memories.
After a peaceful afternoon exploring the falls and its surroundings, you’ll head back to Marrakech, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or riad by around 6 PM.
