day trip to ozoud waterfall
A day trip to the Ouzoud Waterfalls from Marrakech is a chance to experience one of Morocco's most stunning natural wonders. Located about 2.5 hours from the city, the Ouzoud Falls are the tallest waterfalls in North Africa, cascading over 100 meters into the river below.
The journey to Ouzoud takes you through picturesque countryside, with views of olive groves and traditional Berber villages. Upon arrival, you can hike down to the base of the falls, where the mist creates a refreshing atmosphere, and if you're lucky, you might spot playful Barbary monkeys in the surrounding trees.
Along the way, there are several viewpoints offering breathtaking panoramas of the falls and the lush valley below. You can also take a short boat ride to get closer to the cascading water or relax at one of the local cafes while enjoying the stunning scenery.
The trip usually includes a traditional Moroccan lunch at a restaurant with views of the waterfalls, making it a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty before returning to Marrakech in the evening.
