Ouzoud Waterfalls Day Trip from Marrakech

The Ouzoud falls drop 110 m in three steps. Walk the paths down and around them, meet the Barbary macaques, and have lunch facing the water.

The Ouzoud falls drop about 110 m in three steps into a gorge in the province of Azilal, about 150 km north-east of Marrakech. Paths lead down through olive trees to the pools at the bottom and up the other side.

Barbary macaques live around the falls and are often near the paths. Please do not feed them: they are protected, and feeding makes them aggressive.
