Ouzoud day trip from Marrakech

Morning: Departure from Marrakech

Your journey begins early in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel or riad in Marrakech. Get ready for a 3-hour scenic drive through the beautiful Moroccan countryside, passing olive groves, Berber villages, and rolling hills.

Optional stop along the way:
Traditional Berber villages – Get a glimpse of rural life in Morocco.
Local fruit markets – Try fresh Moroccan produce.

Midday: Arriving at Ouzoud Waterfalls

As you get closer, you’ll hear the roaring sound of the waterfalls and feel the refreshing mist in the air. Ouzoud is a paradise of lush greenery, rainbows in the mist, and natural pools perfect for a relaxing day in nature.

Things to Do at Ouzoud Waterfalls

Hike to the Bottom of the Falls
Take a scenic 30–45 minute walk down to the base of the waterfalls. Along the way, you’ll pass olive trees, tiny cafés, and local vendors selling handcrafted souvenirs. The view from the bottom is absolutely breathtaking!

Take a Boat Ride Under the Falls
For a fun and refreshing experience, hop on a traditional wooden boat and get up close to the thundering waterfalls. The local boatmen often crack jokes and ensure a memorable ride.

Meet the Wild Monkeys
Ouzoud is home to friendly Barbary macaques, who love to interact with visitors. You can watch them play in the trees or even feed them (but keep an eye on your snacks!).

Enjoy a Traditional Moroccan Lunch
After exploring, relax at a restaurant with a view of the falls and enjoy a delicious tajine, couscous, or fresh grilled fish, paired with Moroccan mint tea.

Afternoon: Free Time & Return to Marrakech

Before heading back, take some final photos, sip on a last cup of tea by the falls, or just soak in the peaceful atmosphere.

Around 4:00 PM, you’ll begin your journey back to Marrakech, arriving by early evening—just in time to unwind after an amazing day in nature.
