The experience

You leave Marrakech in a climate-controlled vehicle with a local guide who speaks English, French or Arabic. The drive climbs through the High Atlas, passing Berber villages and mountain views before reaching Ouzoud. The full day out and back takes around ten hours, with the bulk of your time spent at the waterfalls themselves.

At Ouzoud, you walk a well-maintained path through olive groves surrounding the cascades: one of Morocco's most dramatic natural sites. The route gives you time for photos at multiple viewpoints and to watch for the monkeys that often appear in the trees. You'll have free time to wander the area on your own, and if you want, you can book an optional boat ride that takes you closer to the base of the falls. Hotel pickup and drop-off in Marrakech are included, so you don't arrange your own transport.
