Overview
The Ouzoud waterfalls drop 110 metres in several cascades into a green gorge in the Middle Atlas, making them the tallest falls in Morocco and one of its most beautiful natural sights. Trails lead around and down to the pools, through olive groves where Barbary macaques play.
It is a refreshing day out of Marrakech, especially in the warmer months.
