Overview

Discover the Spectacular Ouzoud Waterfalls

Escape the energy of Marrakech and journey into the Moroccan countryside on a full-day private excursion to the Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of the country’s most famous natural attractions.

Located in the Middle Atlas region, the waterfalls cascade down dramatic red-rock cliffs surrounded by olive trees, green valleys and traditional rural landscapes. The combination of flowing water, canyon scenery and mountain air makes Ouzoud a refreshing destination for travelers looking to experience a different side of Morocco.

Walk along scenic paths and viewpoints overlooking the cascades, descend toward the lower part of the falls and enjoy an optional boat-style crossing close to the water. Along the way, look for Barbary macaques among the surrounding trees and discover traditional water mills connected to the area’s historic agricultural life.

A traditional Moroccan lunch overlooking the waterfalls completes the experience before you return to Marrakech in the afternoon.
