Day trip from Marrakech to the stunning Ouzoud Falls, one of the most captivating natural wonders in Morocco. Located approximately 160 km northeast of Marrakech in the village of Tanaghmeilt, these falls are the tallest waterfalls in Morocco and the second-highest in Africa, plunging an impressive 110 meters into the canyon below.
This full-day excursion offers an unforgettable escape into nature, combining scenic landscapes, cultural encounters, and outdoor adventure — perfect for travelers seeking eco-tours in Morocco, nature lovers, and photography enthusiasts.
8:00 AM – Pick-Up from Your Hotel or Riad
Your private driver will pick you up from your accommodation in Marrakech, beginning your scenic journey through the majestic Atlas Mountains. As you drive through traditional Berber villages and expansive olive groves, the change in landscape signals your approach to the Ouzoud region.
11:00 AM – Arrival at Ouzoud Waterfalls
Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted by the thunderous roar of cascading water and stunning panoramic views of the waterfalls. The surrounding area is a lush, green oasis, filled with fig trees, carob trees, and friendly Barbary macaques, a species of monkey native to North Africa. These monkeys are used to human visitors and often make for playful encounters.
Hiking & Swimming Opportunities
Follow winding walking trails that lead you both above and below the falls. You’ll have time to hike around the waterfalls, enjoy the views from different vantage points, and even take a dip in the natural swimming pools at the base of the falls. For the adventurous, join locals in cliff diving into the refreshing waters — a popular activity at Ouzoud.
Lunch at a Local Restaurant
After a morning full of exploration, enjoy a leisurely traditional Moroccan lunch at a local restaurant with spectacular views of the falls. Taste authentic dishes such as tagine, couscous, or grilled meats while soaking in the sound of the cascading waters.
Free Time & Return to Marrakech
Take one last walk up to the top of the falls or enjoy a relaxed moment spotting wildlife and capturing photos. In the afternoon, your driver will bring you back to Marrakech, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel or riad around 6:00 PM.
