Marrakech to Ouzoud Falls tour

Your day begins with an early morning pick-up from your accommodation in Marrakech around 8:00 AM. You’ll meet your friendly driver-guide from Desert Excursion Morocco, and start the journey toward the majestic Ouzoud Waterfalls, located about 2.5 to 3 hours northeast of Marrakech. As you leave the city behind, the drive takes you through a variety of Moroccan landscapes from rolling plains to traditional Berber villages and olive groves. Your guide may stop along the way for short breaks, scenic photos, or a quick coffee in a local café.

Upon arrival at the Ouzoud Falls, you’ll be greeted by the impressive sight of the 110-meter-high waterfalls crashing into the canyon below. From here, you’ll begin a relaxed guided walk down the winding path alongside the falls. Keep your eyes out for Barbary macaques, the friendly wild monkeys that often make an appearance! As you explore the lush surroundings, you’ll stop at several viewpoints to take in the beauty and snap unforgettable photos.

You’ll then make your way down to the base of the falls, where you can take an optional boat ride that gets you up close to the cascades (a fun splash is guaranteed!). Around midday, you’ll enjoy a traditional Moroccan lunch at one of the riverside restaurants, featuring local tagines, fresh bread, and mint tea all with a view of the waterfalls. After some time to relax or explore on your own, you’ll begin the hike back up at a gentle pace.

The return drive to Marrakech begins in the late afternoon, and you’ll be dropped off at your accommodation around 6:30 to 7:00 PM, ending a full day of nature, adventure, and peaceful moments. End of your Marrakech Day Trip.
