Marrakech to Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip
A peaceful day in nature, filled with fresh air, soft walks gentle beauty
Your day begins with a warm pick-up from your riad or hotel in Marrakech. As we leave the busy streets behind, the scenery quickly becomes calm and natural. The road takes us through long stretches of olive farms, rolling hills, and small Berber villages where daily life moves at a quiet rhythm. This peaceful drive sets the tone for a soft and refreshing escape into the Middle Atlas.
When we arrive at the Ouzoud Waterfalls, the sound of the water reaches you before your eyes do. From the first viewpoint, the waterfalls appear like a tall white curtain falling over green cliffs a beautiful scene that invites you to stop, breathe, and take your first photos of the day.
We then begin a gentle walk around the falls, taking our time to follow the natural paths and enjoy different viewpoints. As you walk, you may meet the Barbary monkeys, who live freely among the olive trees. They are curious, playful, and add a joyful touch to the experience. The walk is soft and easy, perfect for anyone who wants to enjoy nature without rushing.
At the base of the waterfalls, you have the option to join a local boat ride, which brings you close to the water for a fun and refreshing moment and beautiful photos. It’s a small experience, but one that many travelers love.
For lunch, we recommend one of the simple restaurants overlooking the waterfalls. While enjoying a traditional Moroccan meal, you can watch the water falling in the background, listen to the birds, and feel the cool breeze coming from the canyon. It’s a peaceful moment where food and nature come together perfectly.
After lunch, you have free time to enjoy the area as you wish. Some travelers like to swim in the natural pools during the hot summer months, while others prefer to relax in the shade of olive trees, wander along the small paths, or simply sit with a glass of mint tea and admire the view. Here, the world slows down, and you can truly enjoy the quiet beauty of Morocco’s countryside.
In the late afternoon, we begin our drive back to Marrakech, following the same scenic road through hills and villages. As we drop you off at your accommodation, you carry with you the fresh air, gentle moments, and warm memories of a beautiful day spent in nature.
