One of the highest waterfalls in Morocco, olive groves and wild Barbary macaques, on a private day trip from Marrakech.
About three hours from Marrakech, the river El Abid drops more than 100 metres into a green gorge. A path leads down past mills and small cafés to the foot of the falls.
You can take a small boat close to the water, watch the macaques in the olive trees and have lunch with a view.
The waterfalls of Ouzoud are one of the most impressive natural sights of Morocco and a refreshing escape on a hot day. The walk down and back up is easy but includes steps, so comfortable shoes are recommended.
In spring, after the rains, the falls are at their most powerful.
Pick-up at your riad and drive north-east through olive groves and Berber villages.
We leave Marrakech in the morning and drive north-east through the plains and olive groves to the Middle Atlas, about three hours, to the village of Ouzoud.
Walk down to the foot of the falls, optional boat ride, macaques and lunch.
With a local guide you walk down the path to the foot of the waterfalls, one of the highest in Morocco, where rainbows often form in the spray. You can take a small boat near the falls, see the wild Barbary macaques in the olive trees and have lunch on a terrace facing the cascades.
Return drive, arriving in the early evening.
In the afternoon we drive back to Marrakech, arriving in the early evening.
