Day trip to Ouzoud Waterfalls from Marrakech

An  Excursion to Ouzoud Falls from Marrakech provides a much-needed break from the city, and the serene waterfalls are among Morocco’s most beautiful. Nestled in the Middle Atlas Mountains, some 2.5 hours northeast from Marrakech, the Ouzoud Falls stand as Morocco’s tallest and most stunning series of waterfalls, flowing over 100 meters into a verdant canyon. The ride winds through picturesque olive groves and traditional Berber villages, where there are lots of photo stops. Once at the falls, you can hike down to the base and go on a boat ride near the water, and, if you’re lucky, spot wild monkeys, and take a break in one of the cafés that overlook the impressive cascades. It’s a great day out for nature lovers and anyone wanting to experience Morocco’s peaceful.
