Ouzoud is the waterfall people mean when they talk about the falls near Marrakech: a wide curtain of water dropping in stages into a green gorge in the Middle Atlas foothills, loud, cool and completely unlike the dry country you drove through to reach it. This is a full day out of the city, built around walking the falls rather than photographing them from the car park for ten minutes.
You are collected from your hotel or riad and driven north-east out of Marrakech through olive country. At Ouzoud the day starts at the upper viewpoints, where you see the whole drop at once, then follows the path down through olive trees and terraces to the pools at the bottom. It is a walking day — the descent is on stone steps and dirt paths, and you come back up the same way, at your pace.
At the bottom, small wooden boats take visitors close enough to the falls to feel the spray. Barbary macaques live in the trees along the path and are usually visible on the way down; they are wild animals living in the gorge, not part of a show, and we ask travellers not to feed them. Lunch is at one of the terrace restaurants built above the water, where you eat looking straight at the falls.
We do not publish a driving time or a return hour for this route because we have not verified them to the minute for every pickup point in Marrakech. When you enquire we give you the real window for your date, your hotel and your group size.

Travellers do swim in the pools at the base when conditions allow. Bring a swimsuit and towel, and follow your guide's advice on the day — water level and current change through the year.
Barbary macaques live in the gorge and are usually visible along the path, but they are wild animals and no sighting can be promised. Please do not feed them.
No. Lunch at the terrace restaurants is paid on the day so you can choose what you eat. Tell us about allergies or vegetarian needs and we will point you to the right place.
