A private day trip from Marrakech to the Ouzoud Waterfalls visits the tallest falls in Morocco — a spectacular 110-metre cascade tumbling through a green gorge, complete with rainbows in the spray and wild Barbary macaques in the trees.
It's about two and a half hours each way, and a private driver lets you enjoy it without the crowds and timetable of a coach tour.
110m falls
Morocco's highest waterfall, dropping into a lush gorge.
Barbary monkeys
Wild macaques live in the surrounding oak woods.
Valley walk
A gentle path down to the base and back.
Private pace
Go early to beat the crowds and the heat.
The falls and the gorge
The Ouzoud Waterfalls plunge in several tiers into a green pool below, and a well-made path winds down through olive groves and oak woods to the base — where small boats sometimes ferry visitors close to the spray. It's one of the prettiest natural spots within reach of Marrakech.
Monkeys and mint tea
The woods around the falls are home to Barbary macaques, often seen along the trail. Cafés perched on the cliff edge serve tagine and mint tea with a grandstand view of the cascade. Your driver waits and brings you back in the afternoon.
