Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Excursion

Tour Overview

Located in the Grand Atlas foothills, the Ouzoud Waterfalls represent one of Morocco's most impressive natural spectacles. Plummeting down dramatic red-stone cliffs into a lush green gorge, these multi-tiered falls offer a cool, refreshing escape from the city heat. Follow shaded walking paths down through ancient olive groves, encounter wild Barbary macaque monkeys along the trail, and cross the basin on a traditional hand-rowed wooden boat to feel the spray of the falls up close. Finish your afternoon with a relaxed tagine lunch on a terrace overlooking the cascades.
