Day trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud waterfalls

Day trip from Marrakech

Ouzoud: the most beautiful waterfalls in Morocco

A day in nature at the Ouzoud waterfalls, the highest in Morocco: the water falls from about 110 metres into a green canyon of red rocks, olive trees and gardens, in the Atlas mountains.

Walk down the path to the bottom of the falls, take a small boat under the cascades, meet the Barbary monkeys that live around the falls and enjoy a tagine in one of the restaurants by the water.
