day trip to Ouzoud waterfalls including hiking tour from marrakech

The waterfalls of Ouzoud (Ouzoud means mills in Berber) are waterfalls of about 110 m high, on three levels, on Oued Ouzoud, at 1060 m altitude in the Middle Atlas in Morocco. This vast site is an important Moroccan tourist place 120 km from Beni Mellal and 150 km northeast of Marrakech.

These waterfalls, considered among the highest and most beautiful in Morocco, often dominated by a rainbow, are located in a green valley of rural red sandstone, planted with olive groves, almond trees, fig trees and other carob trees, or a dozen small traditional oil mills are still in operation.

Admire one of Morocco's natural wonders on a day trip to Ouzoud Falls from Marrakech. Travel to the Atlas Mountains in private or in groups of people, and discover the stunning 360-foot waterfalls that plunge along the steep cliffs. Take pictures from different points of view and, if you wish, visit the caves that house the watermills fed by the falls. Watch for local Barbary Apes or rainbows over the waterfalls, and enjoy lunch at a restaurant along the shady waterfall trail.
