Overview

Morocco's highest waterfalls, olive groves and wild Barbary macaques — shared or private from Marrakech

Trade the bustle of Marrakech for the roar of the Ouzoud Falls, the most spectacular waterfalls in Morocco. Tucked into the Middle Atlas foothills in the province of Azilal, about 150 km north-east of Marrakech, the river El Abid plunges roughly 110 metres down a series of red-rock tiers into a deep green gorge. The name comes from the Amazigh word for olives — and the path to the falls winds through ancient olive groves and past small traditional water mills still turning beside the stream. Your day starts with hotel or riad pick-up in Marrakech and a scenic drive (about 2.5–3 hours each way) across the Haouz plain and through Berber farming villages. At Ouzoud, a guided walk takes you down to the base of the cascades, with viewpoints over the full drop and plenty of time for photos as rainbows form in the spray. Families of Barbary macaques — an endangered species found only in Morocco and Algeria — live in the trees around the falls and are often seen up close. At the bottom, you can take an optional colourful raft-boat ride close to the falling water, or relax at one of the terrace restaurants overlooking the gorge for a tagine lunch (at your own expense). In the afternoon, you return to Marrakech in time for dinner. Choose a shared small-group departure for great value, or a private vehicle for up to four people if you prefer to travel at your own pace. Guiding is in English or French.
